\hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir c:\tf -verify_all
I had the exact same problems that you did. Here is what I did:
1) I created a directory off the root. i.e C:\SRCDS
2) I then ran the update tool:
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf -dir c:\srcds
note: I had to hit "up arrow" and rerun this commandline about 9 times to get all of the files, because the server that was sending the files would time out after about 5 minutes and give me a "Winsock Error".
3) Once I had all the files, there was a problem with the "adminserver.dll" it was showing as 0kb file. I deleted this file and then reran the hldsupdatetool.exe one more time. It then downloaded the correct adminserver.dll file
4) I then created a shortcut to run the server from:
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -game tf +maxplayers 8 -autoupdate
note: I did not use the -console switch as it would not run but just hang, without it you will run in GUI mode
5) The first time it was run it seemed to hang for about 3 or 4 mins, I just let it go and then eventually everything loaded.
Now all runs beautifully!!
