    Where did you download it from?
    Which file did you download exactly?
    If it was the automated installer, did it detect your half-life directory and proceed with the installation?
    Does NS show up in your list of games under Steam?

    Okay uninstall NS where it was installed to.. because it's currently NOT in the intended location where it's supposed to be..

    First you want to make note as to where you installed Steam.. usually it's C:/Program Files/Steam

    Then once you found the location of Steam find out where the Half-Life directory is WITHIN Steam. It's usually at:

    Steam\SteamApps\yourSteamAcount@emailaddress.net\half-life

    The installer should have found that directory automatically from the registry keys made by Steam.. so something tells me you haven't installed Steam correctly.

    So point the installer to the address I described to you and it should work properly

    Thanks!
    There´s only one problem. When i got to install ns setup says "there´s no steam installed". I have installed steam! I think thats why the default directory of installation is not .....steamapps\......

    Well, uninstall Steam (or delete the folder if you can't uninstall it since it sounds like the NS install doesn't even recognize it). Then redownload the Steam install from somewhere else (doesn't matter if CS is included or not). Now download Half-Life off of your new Steam install. Then install NS after HL is all updated. Also make sure your NS install isn't corrupted.

    Well I've got an old install of Steam so mine differs <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    anyway

    NaSeFi, what games do you see under Steam?

    Half-Life isn't a stand alone game anymore and is a part of Steam. I think you're using the original install of Half-Life..

    Then i played hazard course once!
    Then i downloaded ns installer and installed ns in c\valve\steam\steamapps\email\

    1. Uninstall NS from where it is currently

    2. Make sure the install path POINTS TO: c:/valve/steam/steamapps/your emaill address/half-life

    3. Install and at the end check to see if the full path to NS looks something like this c:/valve/steam/steamapps/your emaill address/half-life/ns

    That´s the problem! NS DEFAULT install phat is not the c\valve\steam\steamapps\.... . The Default path is C\programm files\ns. If i change the install path nothing happens. When i start the installation of ns setup says there´s no steam detected in your computer. (that´s wery strange because if the steam is runnig setup says "the steam is runnig. Stop it so the installation can start)

    Don't run steam while installing NS..

    Point the installer to the folder where Half-Life is installed and you can proceed with the installation..

    if this is too difficult for you get a friend who is more PC savvy to install NS for you.

    The installer needs to know where your half-life folder is in order to install NS.
