can't get server to install

[BADASS]

could someone tell me what's wrong I can't get scrds to install Counter-Strike Source server.

everytime I try I get this error

Code:

Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): File does not exist and failed to create new file

how do I manually install the server.

Delete the .blob file (should be under srcds folder) and run hldsupdatetool again.

Na, looks like a right management issue to me...
I've seen this a lot in windows.

Make the folder you want the server installed in, then run the installer. The server installer doesn't seem to think it has the rights to write in that area to make a folder. If the folder is there, it SHOULD work. Although some people say it might take a few tries.

I had same problem and you were spot on with the cause of it. Made a new folder and it installed straight away.

Not a problem.
It's an odd error that I've ran into with several people trying to install servers.
I should probably make a write-out of it somewhere...
