I can't install Half Life 2, I've had a number of problems
When I first tried to install the full version of the regular Half Life 2 package, I got to the fourth disc and the came up:
"Error 1305. Error reading from file: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\counter-strike source shared content.gcf varify that the file exists so you can ccess it."
After clicking retry it attempts installing this part again until the same error appears again.
I tried resetting and trying again with no success. Then I tried installing just Half Life 2 without Counter Strike: Source and this error came up:
"Error 1334. The file "hl2.ico1" cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinetfile 'hl24.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading reading from the CD-rom or a problem with this package."
I tried doing this on both my DVD and CD-rom drives and the same errors came up! Why? If my disc is faulty or something, I don't even know if I can return it so can you help me out so I can fix it? Will the patch do anything - will it even work without Half Life 2 installed?
I thought I'd post this here, perhaps somebody has heard/had this problem and knows how to fix it?
