<div class="IPBDescription">i have the latest version 1.1.1.0!</div> I cant install the game becouse everytime i go to install the game it says

"You must be running at least version 1.1.1.0 of half-life or 1.5 of counterstrike retail in order to install the NSPT. Please upgrade then re-run this installation."

I do not have counterstrike retail version of the game, but i do have version 1.1.1.0 of half-life dowloaded. i do not understand why it is not detecting this.

Please help!

thank you

    What is the path to your HL.exe file?

    ex: c:\sierra\half-life\hl.exe

    Is this the same path that NS is being pointed to when you install?

    ex: c:\sierra\half-life

    If not, make sure you browse in the installer when it prompts you for that directory to the correct one.

    it was c:\sierra\half-life\hl.exe but i resently moved all the halflife file to a diffret hard drive.

    but i have the right path (the new one) put in so that NS is being pointed to it when i install it. i guess its cuz i moved half life but its still weard it cant see that it is the latest version. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you move half life, things screw up and you need to reinstall. I'm pretty sure.

    you cant move instaled program, it dosn't work, lol

    basic deal, HL requires registry access and if you move stuff around you get abunch of invalid links thus making it think that there is something wrong (well there is actualy)

    so what you gotta do is unistall and reinstall HL, though you have now sorta screwd up your registry

    as a fewture warning, do not move instaled programs around it CAN screw stuf up, same goes for delleting them never ever dell an instaled program ALWAYS unistall it

    Whats happening is :
    NS looks for HL, it askes your system registry. The system registry tells NS the old location. NS looks in that location for HL.exe and doesn't find it. NS tells you, you don't have to proper version.
    There are 2 ways to fix this. 1) You can edit your registry to say where HL is now, you can find it under Local_Machine > Valve. (If you don't know how to do this, don't, it can be dangerous to you computer) 2) Re-install HL to the new location, the HL installer will automatically overwrite the old registry keys with ones containing the new location.

    But the NS installation thing asked me where hl.exe was and i told it that right place. So it should be looking at where i said or is that not right? i dunno im goin to Re-install HL now.... if that dont work ill wait till the new update for HL comes out, download that and try it again..

    thx for help guys.
