Yesterday,I just install the hl2dm dedicated server with hldsupdatetool,I write a bat file which said

HldsUpdateTool -command update -game "hl2mp" -dir "c:\hl2dm"

Then I run it,it shows

Checking bootstrapper version ... Updating Installation

And it just stopped with nothing happened
Then I started to tried more and more
Finally,It showed

Checking bootstrapper version ... Updating Installation No installation record found at c:\hl2dm/orangebox No installation record found at c:\hl2dm

but it is still stopped,but the folders was created.
PLEASE HELP ME........
and also someone told me that I needed to delete the Installrecord.blob file,but It is not work
This time it stuck at updating installation again

Assuming your directory is C:\hl2dm try using this Bat

@echo off
echo Steam Update - Source Server
echo . 
echo By Your Name Here
echo .
echo .
echo Make sure the server is offline while steam updates
echo .
pause
c:
cd C:\hl2dm
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "hl2mp" -dir C:\hl2dm -verify_all
echo .
echo Now updated, just restart the Source Server.
echo .
pause

I believe I ran into this problem a long time ago, and the problem was you didn't create the hl2dm folder. the c:\whatever has to exist prior to having hldsudpatetool writing anything to it.

I could be wrong so don't take my word for it.

Start again.

1). Create your folder

2). Download and install the hldsupdatetool http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.exe to your server folder.

3). Create the Bat file as described previously matching your Server Directory that contains the hldsupdatetool. Make sure your BAT file is indeed a BAT file and not a text file.

4). Run BAT

Note - it is normal to sometimes get messages such as No Installation Record Found etc. Be patient and dont be too hasty closing the window. Run the BAT a few times if necessary.

Yeah,I have followed the steps but it still stuck at Updating installation

how long is it stuck for? what os you on?

on my first box it can take a while as it runs a few servers and even updating 2 at once increased the amount of time.

be warned - it can take a really long tiem sometimes.

It takes about 4 hour sticking at updating installation,and I exit it as I cannot see anything happened there.I am using windows vista,I have tried to us admin to run it ,but it is still nothing happened

Hmm does sound like it might be getting cut out due to not being run as administrator etc. Privileges on vista can be a nuisance sometimes.

Double and Triple check you are defo running the cmd as Administrator.

Also, might be worth making a new Folder with a different name such as C:\srcds and then see if you can run the hldsupdatetool to install a different game type such as -game "Counter-Strike Source" or -game "tf"

Just to see if any of them are working for you etc to narrow it down.
