Copying the .gmp files from the main installation to the editor installation did the trick, thanks for the suggestion, Dave Angel.
Now I can enter game mode through the editor, but none of the maps I tested have any sound, though (even when I press escape and get into the menu there's total silence). Is this a common behaviour, or is it just my installation?

This one I think I solved - you get sound if you run the game in windowed mode. Press alt-Enter when you're in the game, and sound should appear.

It's in the readme, sounds may not work in full-screen mode.

OK I copied across the files and now it just hangs on the loading screen, with a hard reboot being the only solution. :(
I'm only getting to this point too, but I can get out of it by hitting Esc, which brings me back to the editor. Any other key combos and I have to hard reboot also.
Edit: Ok it was the .gmp files that fixed it. But after running a map and leaving the game the windows firewall reported that T3main.exe was try to access the internet, why would it do that?

Notice the caution in the official release document (you did read it, right? ;)). Another way to get sound is to create a shortcut to T3.exe (in your editor installation) and add a variable for the name of whatever gmp you want to load (i.e., in the target, it might say C:\Games\Thief3Edit\System\T3.exe" Tutorial4). For some reason I prefer this method; probably because the editor takes up enough CPU cycles and I need all I can on this ratty machine :laff:.
Didn't get the conversation in the included tutorials to work, though. Maybe I'll just load up the one the devs provided and see if that works.

Yep, alt-enter worked, although it made the game hang immediately afterwards.
Starting the map per command line works with sound and full-screen.
