I wish people would at least search the history before posting these requests. I'm all of answering questions, but the whole "Help! I can't install NS (and haven't bothered to read the instructions/search the forum to see if anyone else is getting this problem)" thing is getting out of hand. A simple search will throw up the millions of times this question has been answered.

I believe the term is <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90801' target='_blank'>clicky (link to Swift's Picture guide to installing NS)</a>

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.
4) Deleate ALL Folders with this name.
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.
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) NS v3 (ns_install_v3.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</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-->
