Keep in mind that people can have multiple installations that may not be identified in the registry. You can use the registry keys (below) to see if you can detect an existing installation, but you should also give people the opportunity to confirm/change the path.

I'm trying to make a quick little command line tool that moves the firearms content into the proper folders for Steam from WON. I've gotten it to work with the HL retail version, but I'm not sure if it'll work for the platinum pack, CS, or DoD retail boxes. Could someone please tell me? -Cale 'Mazor' Dunlap Programmer Firearms Half-Life http://www.firearmsmod.com/ -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
