Yet another 'Failed to load the launcher DLL' problem

[Acksull]

Trying to run a TF2 server on Vista 32. I use to run one through steam a few months ago with no problems at all, then it just suddenly stopped working.

What I've tried so far...

First running it from steam. I would verify the integrity of TF2 and the TF2 DS. Also defraged the gcf's. Still get the error "Failed to load the launcher DLL: The specific procedure could not be found."

So I tried completely uninstalling/reinstalling steam and downloading just TF2 and the TF2 DS. Verify the integrity, start it...same problem.

Next I download hldsupdatetool, install a standalone version of the TF2 DS. Once installed I run it with -verify_all a couple more times to make sure i have everything. Looks good. Run srcds with all the normal parameters for a tf2 game, "srcds.exe Entry Point Not Found The Procedure entry point CreateSimpleThread could not be located in the dynamic link libaray tier0.dll. Failed to load the launcher DLL: The specific procedure could not be found."

Ahhhhh I then lose my mind after wasting half my Sunday on this problem.

Any ideas? Like I said, it used to run fine through Steam, then just magically stopped working. I'm starting to think there's something missing in Vista that's causing all this.

Thanks

Did you try running as an admin?
Open up a CMD as admin and then run the commend?

Thanks for the reply. I tried running as admin on both the standalone and steam version and neither worked. I also tried running in Win XP compatibility mode and still got the error.
