It's in the guide...

Launch ESF installer. If a message pops up asking if you want to uninstall ESF first, hit No. Uncheck all the options (MP3s, Japanese Voices, Steam menu music, Desktop shortcut), they're not needed for ESF dedicated server. Install the files to HLDS\steamapps\common\Half-Life.

If you have used app_update 90, then you should find hlds.exe in steamapps/common/Half-Life.

I did this, a lot of time.

First i deleted the half life directory. Then i oppened steamcmd
after i logged i used the comand app_update 90 and app_update 90 validate
Then i used "app_update 90 -beta beta" and "app_update 90 -beta beta" validate

still yet the only files in the half life directory are:

"cstrike
valve

steamclient.dll
tier0_s.dll
vstdlib_s.dll

hl.exe with 0kb"

That is weird. Can you provide a screenshot of your SteamCMD window once app_update 90 validate command is executed and the files are finished downloading?

Consider making an exception in your firewall/antivirus software for the SteamCMD folder and any files/subfolders it contains.
Also changing installation directory by using force_install_dir ./NewInstallDir and then repeating app_update installation might help.

If you're behind a router, you may need to allow a certain IP to be hosted in your router settings. For instance if in HLDS your server's IP is shown as 192.168.0.100, you need to allow this IP to be an "internet host". Different routers handle this differently.

Using this my friends can enter in the server but only if we use a "lan connection" using hamachi.

Can i put the server on to everyone and in the list with another servers?
