    this is NOT the shortcut bug, bah!

    this happens during instalation (you should have said during instalation mate)

    <!--QuoteBegin--MonsE+--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (MonsE)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->If you are running a copy of CounterStrike Retail (usually a non-English version), and are having problems installing NS, we have a workaround for you. This seems to happen to a handful of users, but the fix below will get NS onto your system:

    1. Download the dummy half-life executable file from <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/downloads/hl.exe' target='_blank'>here</a>.
    2. Copy file into your counterstrike retail directory (in the same spot as your cs.exe or cstrike.exe).
    3. Run the Natural-Selection Installation.
    4. The NS installation will think the dummy HL.exe is patched correctly, and complete your installation.

    Now, there is a caveat to this - the installer will create a shortcut that points to the dummy HL.exe. You will need to edit your 'Launch Natural Selection' shortcut to point to your counterstrike exe. That is the only downside. Once you install, you can actually throw the dummy HL.exe away. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    this also holds true if he is running DoD

    if this don't fix it, make sure his HL/CS retail ARE uptodate <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
