Install the files in the following order:
NS3 Beta
NS3 Beta4
NS3 Beta4a
That should fix your problem.
This should be phased to the tech support forum, because it does not belong in General Discussion.
<a href='http://www.nsarmslab.com/details/ns_v30_b4_patch.exe' target='_blank'>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS ONE SECOND</a>
<a href='http://www.nsarmslab.com/details/ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe' target='_blank'>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS ONE THIRD</a>
This is the third time I've done this. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2) Play HL atleast Once via Steam (just booting up the training mission will do).
3) Download these 3 files:
ns_install_v3_b1.exe
ns_v30_b4_patch.exe
ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe
4) Install NS V3.0 Beta 1 (ns_install_v3_b1.exe) (This should auto install to steam\steamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp, if it does not, move the NSP folder there).
5) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4 (ns_v30_b4_patch.exe) (point this at steam\steamApps\your@email\Half-Life\ do NOT include the NSP).
6) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4a (ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe) (See * at bottom).
7) Search your Hard drive(s) for folders named nsp.
8) If you have more than one you messed up. Goto Step 3.
If you folow these steps properly you will not get client.dll or map.bsp errors.
If you are positive you have folowed them corectly then redownload the installer form a different location.
*There aslo seems to be a bug with, atleast some of, the 4a installers. Try pointing it at steamApps\your@email\ instead of steamApps\your@email\half-life

That's from "Thansal's Guide on how to friken install NSv3.0B4a". Here are slightly more advanced directions:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->1) Search your Hard drive for ns and nsp.
2) Deleate all folders named that.
3) Start from step 3 in my guide.
4) Make sure you are using the properly named files for each step, the file name is listed with the step.
5) Make sure you point each file at the place listed with the step
5a) The first one should auto install with no choice of destination
5b) The second one goes to: Steam\SteamApps\your@email\Half-Life
5c) The 3rd should probably go to Steam\SteamApps\your@email\
6) After each install step in my guide (steps 4, 5 and 6) search your hard drive for nsp
6a) If you find only one folder, and it is located at Steam\SteamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp then you are good to go.
6b) If you have only one nsp but it is some where else, move it to that location.
6c) If you have 2 nsp folders, then move the one that is not in that location, over writing all files when prompted.
6d) Each time you move an nsp folder search your hard drive again for nsp to double check.

It is now becoming another file on my desktop.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As a side note, those aren't my guides. Those are Thansal's, and I hope he doesn't hurt me for sharing them. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
