View Full Version : HLDS Update tool not working
Hey,
i'm trying to install CS:S Server, so i downloaded the HLDS update tool from Steam, and installed it.
Then i ran the command:
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir .
It's starts updating but after a minute it says:
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
Connection reset.
I tried to download it a few times, but it always saying that..
What could be the problem?
You need to change it to
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir "C:\HLDS"
You set the directory to '.'
I corrected it to C:\HLDS
No, it doesn't matter, "." means the same directory when the hldsupdatetool.exe is found.
Here, this is what i did:
C:\hlds1>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir .

Run HldsUpdateTool.exe without any args first, then try it again with the args
Well, i reinstalled hlds update tool, open the port 27015 on my router, and added hldsupdatetool.exe to firewall exception, and it works now.
There are no quotes in the command
this is the right way:
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -dir wherever you installed the game
If there are spaces in the directory e.g
C:\cstrike server
It needs to have quotation marks... That's just how a CLI works.

I don't think so....
This is what I do for CS 1.6, works the same way for all games.
Notice the pic? No quotes right?

I don't think it needs quotes for the last argument.
Quotes are only needed for spaced names/commands
Example of when you would need it:
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir "C:\New Folder\" If you didn't have the quotes it would give you errors.
Example of when you don't need it:
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir C:\Folder\Btw I love your sig Twilight Suzuka. Portal <3

Won't work. Counter-Strike Source needs to be in quotes. I just checked and it kicks it back. But yeah, if you have a space, you need quotes, just like the others have said

yes you are right, this is the right command;
D:\CSS>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir D:\CSS
Won't work. Counter-Strike Source needs to be in quotes. I just checked and it kicks it back. But yeah, if you have a space, you need quotes, just like the others have said
I think I said that when I said " Quotes are only needed for spaced names/commands"
