Cmultifeildblob ... failed to create new file

[newbie007]

Hi there,

Ok I am getting this error message. When I do the..

hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir C:\srcds

Error messgae is:

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

WHAT THE HELL!!!!

I have tried deleting the clientregistry.blob file ---> doesn't work

I have uninstalled the Hldsupdatetool and installed it --> doesn't work

Also played around with sharing and security

Some wiki website told me to re-format my whole computer. Don't think so!

I don't know what to do. I want to smash my computer.

Another dude on some forum was having the same problem and in a couple of post he said "don't know why but it works now"

Why does it say "Failed to create new file"

Thats what I am doing. Putting in that command to download the files. I just don't understand.

Please help

I just explained this here
Make the srcds folder on your c drive first, then try the install.

Yeah I made the srcds folder first. In C:

Cause I followed a tutorial online and it said to make that folder.

This is what I did

1. I downloaded the Hldsupdatetool

2.saved it to the desktop

3. Did the install wizard thing and put it in C:\scrds

4. Open command thingy, then typed -- cd C:\scrds

5. Then -- hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir C:\srcds

6. And now I am here with that gay error message.

This is what the guy said on that forum u linked me too.

"Okay, I made the srcds folder, and it still doesn't work. Where would the blob files be located? "

Nothing was posted after u said "its in the C:\scrds"

So I don't know if it worked for him deleting the .blob file

I already said I deleted the .blob file --> didn't work

Please help

Start over. Delete C:\srcds
This time install HLupdatetool in C:\hlupdate
Then make a new FOLDER on your C drive called "CSSserver"
Then do this:

Code:

CD C:\hlupdate
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir "C:\CSSserver"

If you still get that error, try a few times... sometimes it just happens.

Also: Do you have full admin to the computer you are installing on?

Code:

CD C:\hlupdate
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir "C:\CSSserver"
