Downloading Files

use C:/HLDS

destination folder. Press Browse and select the C:/ drive and after that double click on
HLDS [Link] message tells us that the folder already exists and we press Yes, then
next until the end of setup.
- the next step is to give a command from DOS command line. To do that, press Start
button, press Run, write cmd and press OK. Change the current directory by writing the
following command: cd C:\HLDS.
- Download the files needed to install the server. Depending on the Internet connectio
speed it may take up to a couple of minutes or few hours. Write the following command
in DOS command line: [Link] -command update -game valve -dir .
This command starts the HLDS download. After the download is complete, the following
message is displayed: HLDS installation up to date.

the password for remote administration.

C:\HLDS\cstrike and open [Link] with TextPad or WordPad. Modify secure from 1 to
0. Save and exit.
