I don't know if this thread has already been created or not,so I apologize if i'm accidently spamming a similar thread.

I've encountered a big problem with installing ESF 1.2.1.I HAVE ESF 1.2 already on my pc (although I can't get it to run because crappy steam keeps popping up....if anyone knows how to help me get around that I'll be grateful)....

but that isn't the problem.THE PROBLEM is that the installer for ESF 1.2.1 won't install at all! When it reaches the destination window,to select the folder i'd like to install it to,the install button on the screen is blanked,and above it,says 'Nullsoft Install System v2.01.I assumed that this was a program required to install this version of ESF,so I went searching on the net for it......and searching......and searching.......and searching......

and I am pretty much still searching! I e-mailed Matsasurf about it,but he didn't answer me (I can't say I blame him,he's probably pretty busy).SO,I come and ask you guys now,these few questions:-

1a:- Is Nullsoft Install System v2.01 required for installing ESF 1.2.1?
1b:- If so,where can I get it? Please post a direct link for me,don't send me on a wild goose chase...I'm quite through with all that.
2:- How can I get around the issue with the main steam menu popping up all the time I try to get into ESF? (I tried opening my other mods as well,and steam has entrenched itself in them too!! What do I do!?!)

please help me.I'm in a state of desperation. :cry:

What exactly do you mean by "How can I get around the issue with the main steam menu popping up all the time I try to get into ESF? (I tried opening my other mods as well,and steam has entrenched itself in them too!! What do I do!?!)"
Do you own Half-Life? If it is the Browse Games window that is popping up you probably don't. ESF requires HL to be installed in Steam. CZ doesn't work.

This proves that you really dont know that much. You need to run it on steam instead of the WON version of Half-life. Be shure that your installing to your Half-life Folder IN STEAM

I believe that steam window popping up is telling you to buy the game, as I believe you do not have a valid cdkey.

Do you have one? It must be legit!

Ok,We've had the question answered about our little problem with steam,but that still doesn't solve our big problem with the installer,and why the install button is blanked out.
