Help needed installing server please

[chaokusc]

im on Windows XP trying to instal ESF Server

ESF worked fine in E:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\half-life\
I downloaded the server file and tried to install to
E:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\dedicated server
but it says ESF could not be found on selected destination. Please choose again

Cany anyone please tell me the correct location to install using Steam on Windows XP

Or if there is any other way to install without steam

Any help is really greatly appreciated... thanks

Standalone Dedicated Server (Windows) (421 MB) - The Steam client includes an option to download a dedicated server component. If you want to run a Steam Dedicated Server and don't want a Steam client, use this.

Standalone Dedicated Server (Linux) (425 MB) - As above, but for Linux.

This is the way without steam

Create a dedicated half-life game first. That way the correct directories will be created. After that, install the esf server version. Or install the server that doesn't require the steam client, as Orion proposed.

Ok just so i got this correctly... i create a Half Life server, so that the correct directories are created

This has now been done

However in E:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\dedicated server
i do not have a Half-Life folder
What now ?

In that case It looks like you've installed ESF somewhere else, Probably best to re install it in the defalt folder...

 

[chaokusc]

E: \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMIAL\half-life
My Half-Life directory

E: \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\half-life\esf
My ESF directory

E: \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\dedicated server
My dedicated Server directory

All folders in dedicated server are
cstrike
czero
platform
valve

and a bunch of files

Is any of the places the correct place to install

IF SOMONE just gave me the correct place to install this thread could end lol
excample of your post

the correct place is E: \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\CORRECT\FOLDER\HERE

This would be a great big help

Install it in E: \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\dedicated server
(so without the half-life).
