It doesn't, it just has to be in the CWD (current working directory)
I just have a folder setup for the update tool itself
C:\hldsupdatetool\
In there I have the exe and a batch file for each server that throws the
cmd to update for each individual folder
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\srcds1
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\srcds2
ect ect...
some people (like myself) wrote batch files in automate the update process
and if you run the hldsupdatetool.exe and it isn't in the folder you just
executed it out of, it causes strange behavior with the orangebox folder.
