<div class="IPBDescription">doesnt install all files</div> A friend of mine had the plan to install and play Natural Selection.
She downloaded Steam and set it up the right way
She did the HL training
She downloaded ns_install_v3.exe
She executed the installer
and chose the path D:\Steam\SteamApps\her-nick@gmx.net\half-life\ns
she started the installation.
Installation starts and installs some files.
Suddenly:
<!--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--> An error occurred while trying to copy a file<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ignore? Quit? Try again? (the german version of these 3 options <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
If she goes for retry the same message pops up again
So she does ignore. And it happens again and again...with other files.
ns.wad
ns2.wad
ns_bast.bsp
trailer.avi
p_gr.mdl
p_mine.mdl
forcefield2.mp3
tech60s.spr
now...WTH IS WRONG??? she tried different installers. She formated her **** harddrive. And still it doesnt work.
I ll upload the files for her now and check if it works...but still...what is wrong with the installer?
thx for any help

-virus
-OS is corrupted
-every installer she downloaded was corrupted
If such unexplainable things happen out of the sudden, i personally tend to "format C:"
That's a problem.
Do it to this path instead:
D:\Steam\SteamApps\her-nick@gmx.net\half-life\
As for your specific problem, I have no idea. It could be a hard drive problem, a corrupted installer file problem, or something else.

Thier the most likley causes as others have pointed out.
Get her to run a virus scan, ad-aware, spybot, and scandisk (or chkdsk in MS dos prompt as its much more accurate)
