This will install beta 5 no matter what you have done before, so start at the begining!
1) Install Steam (Get the one with the HL cash if you can), if you have already installed Steam you may skip this step
2) Play HL Via Steam (just load up the training mission and then quit)
3) Search Your Hard Drive for NS and NSP
4) Deleate ALL Folders with these names.
4a) If you have a previously working install of an earlier version that you wish to keep: You can rename all NS folders to NSBUP and leave the NSP Folders alone.
4b) If you have a previous install of NS, and wish to keep your configs, cimply copy your .cfg filles (normaly just config.cfg and userconfig.cfg, to your desktop)
5) Close Steam.
6) Run the Beta 5 installer (ns_install_v3_b5.exe)
6a) Point the installer at Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life
6b) If you backedup your config files, now is the time to move them to your NS folder.
7) Launch Steam
8) Change your filters so that the point at <b>Natural Selection(Beta 5)</b> Instead of <b>Natural Selection (Beta)</b>
9) Connect and play.
10) If you get any errors (map.bsp, client.dll, or <b>ANYTHING</b>:
a) Search your HDD for NS, there should only be a dir called NS in your Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life\NS, unless you backed up a previous install.
b) If it is ANYWHERE elese, try moving it to the correct place, or simply deleate it and start again.


If you still get map.bsp errors, or client.dllrors, start from step 3 again.
If you are POSITIVE that you hvae folowed the directions correctly, then redownload  ns_install_v3_b5.exe from another location.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

xenix,

It looks like you don't have the correct OS filesystem permissions. Are you logged into xp/2000 as someone who doesn't have full disk write privs?

Xenix

privs? privlages? this is my own computer i have full access shiz. yes i have xp i dont know what year though


xp home edition

well i'm having the problem where you double-click ns under third-party games and it brings up the my games windows where it wants you to buy games, etc. i have cz and not the original half-life so i can't possibly start it up and run it once like it says to get it working with steam. is there another way to get it working without having the original half-life?

YE GODS!

can no one start their own thread

every person has had a different issue.

Ski: Buy HL, nuff said.

Xen: This is a problem with how you have configured win XP probably, as I don't use win xp, I can't help you out, try googling that error msg.
