Problem with installing tf2 srcds in win xp

[badooki]

Hi, I read tutorial(installing tf2 srcds in windows), and did exactly same. But whenever I open command prompt and wait for 5 minutes, I get this messege and nothing more.
(I waited for 4 hours, but there were no changes.)

WARNING: unrecognized parameter 'C:\srcds\HLdsUpdateTool.exe'

I don't exactly know what command line i used for the installation. I just followed instruction.. So this is what I did>
I made shortcut of hldsupdatetool.exe (the hldsupdatetool.exe which is in my c:\srcds) and i changed it's target as shown below>
"C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool.exe" C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool.exe -Command update -game tf - dir C:\srcds

And I just ran it...

Thanks for helping me!

Use this one:

Code:

C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\srcds

It is fine! When it says no installation record, that just means it hasn't been installed yet! Please be patient and try it again. Let it run as it can take an hour or so.

It still doesn't work..

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\aetbe>C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\srcds

It's been almost 6 hours since i start downloading but nothing different. It is pretty same as first time, showing 'no installation record at C:\srcds' over an hour...

extra info:
-os: windows xp sp3
-cpu: intel pentium 4
-Internet connection: good
-firewall: off
-anti-virus program: off

I downloaded another tf2 srcds with Steam, but there aren't any tf2 database. There are 'bin' 'platform' folders and 'srcds.exe' file, but i can not find 'tf' and 'hl' folders.
