SRCDS,exe doesnt exist. /running VISTA

[Turbo!]

Well i have 2 compputers here and i thought it would be cool to make one a server

not...

After half hour or so, hldsupdate tool watevers runs the comand prompt for ten thousand files then says 'done' and closes.

i go to exe my srcds.bat that i made copied (modifyed for map and players) from this webhelp

'no srcds.exe'

there is no srcds.exe in my folder...read the forums a bit and quite frankly the only response i saw was keep trying the update, after 5 tries...what am i missing here?

[Turbo!]

" windows cannot find 'c:srcds\srcds.exe' make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. "

i get that error when running command to launch srcds

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

[Turbo!]

i found that when i ran had to run the update many times because it would cut off so just keep running the update until you get the exe

i used

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

and just kept doing that till it had all the files

i had to run the command about 5 times for it to complete

ok well i did the same thing except i replaced tf with cstrike, and tried again with "counter-strike source"
liek this
hldsupdatetool -game "cstrike" -dir C:\srcds
and it wont work, there is this comand window that pops up for 2 secconds and shows this thing - i barely managed to get a SS of it
(the SS only shows the comand that pops for a sec - the entries u see there are only half of what i have tried..)

ok well i took a few closer looks at your SS, and i just now ran CMD as administrator.. it is downloading more stuff that seems correct (ive had server before on XP)

thanks for your help - i also read your other post just now, its the exact same thing you should sticky it and ADD the folowing info:

Make sure you run the command prompt as administrator!!

I had the same problem... Just save this command as a .Bat file, and everytime it stopes download... Double click the file again... You should need to run the file about 5 times...

Quote:C:
cd srcds
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir C:\srcds

well i just kept pasting the last line into the command prompt that finally stayed open.. it eventually got there after stopping 4or 5 times at random intervals... first cut was at 46%, then 3%, again at 60?% and last stop was at 92%, then it finaly got done!

but it works well except my server is not viewable from the internet..but i am running on university campus internets (dorms) and it would explain it...
