So, let's get to the point.
Whenever I try to install ESF, the Install and OK options are greyed out. I've set a directory to Half Life and it doesn't let me install the game at all either.
If anyone could help me, that'd be greatly appreciated.

This is well covered.

You need to be using Steam, and you need to have run HalfLife at least once.

If you have Half-Life on steam, launch the game once and re-run the installer.

No need to be snarky, you haven't even verified you've done everything correctly.
Are you using Steam? Have you ran HalfLife at least once?
If you fulfill those requirements, you should be able to click the greyed out buttons.

I love old timey FPS games, such as doom, half life, goldeneye, and the list goes on.
I had Half Life before I even came across this mod (I'm a DBZ fan so I thought it'd be cool)
So uh... Yeah. I'm using Steam and have ran Half Life atleast once. I've tried rerunning it or pointing it to the correct directory and the OK button is also greyed out, so can't do anything there. Sorry for being sort of (well, not sort of) rude. I'm just frustrated.

I remember the last time I used the installer I had issues with the buttons staying greyed out, though I could actually click on them after pointing it to HL. I thought it was just maybe a win10 thing. If that doesn't work, maybe try running HL for a bit, restarting Steam and trying again? Failing that try downloading the installer again, it might be borked.

Tried it, didn't work. Tried resetting my PC, didn't work. That's an F. Thanks for the help though.

Did you also try to remove half-life entirely (manually removing the directory if needed), re-install it, launch the game and launched the installer again?

I tried multiple times a few weeks ago and the OK button magically appeared for me. The only thing that I can think of is that somehow when you run the installer it's not properly finding your HL directory accordingly which you already knew. Mind "connecting" your steam account and doing a HL verification for the sake of it?


Half-Life verification will pop-up after you've connected your steam.

......The install button isn't greyed out anymore but when I click it, it doesn't do anything?
Darn, all of this could've been avoided if this mod was portable.
I can't even exit out of the application without task manager!
None of the buttons work!
 
There is no hope. No light. There is only despair.

^ Just so we know you are really using steam and bought a copy of HL ;)
