setting up a TF2 server

[Che]

I've done the initial steps.
Loaded the tool, made a server.cfg and a bat file to start it.
However the srcds.exe was not under ...orangebox\ but under steam
put the bat file under steam, start again and it cannot find steam.dll
started again from where the steam.dll is and now he cannot find the scripts/surfaceproperties_manifest.txt

Have to go now so cannot test further, I suppose some paths variables need to be set here, right ?
any advice to short my quest will be mutch appreciated.

regards,

che.
