Installed Doom3 using the CDs and updated to the latest release. Then opened the sln file in VS 2010 and changed the command line args for debugging to point to the data of the game installed from the cd (instead of steam).

Now what is the matter with default.cfg and what about "Unknown command 'vid_restart'"? I am not familiar with the structure of idgames.

  ------ Initializing File System ------
  Current search path:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM 3\base/base
  game DLL: 0x0 in pak: 0x0
  Addon pk4s:
  file system initialized.
  --------------------------------------
  Unknown command 'vid_restart'
  idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
  Shutting down OpenGL subsystem
  ...shutting down QGL
  Couldn't load default.cfg

ah.. it works w/o the base at the end! So the correct path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM 3"
I got a similar error on linux. How did you get it to work?
