HL2 orange box and steam

Hey all, ok my question are as follows.

1. How much of the actual HL2 episode 2 game will i have to donwload

2. WHy is it that i cant install steam. It says something about a library file called steam.dll and steamUI.dll not found.

Ive just bought the orange box but cant get anything installed. All Vista x64 firewalls off and so on. Antivirus disabled.

Anyone that can help pls post, if you have smart ass remarks then pls dont post them. Im pretty fed up trying to get this fracken game working.

First up thx for reply. My problem is not the HL2 part, but getting steam to install. Ive gone to the website to download latest one but no luck.

How much meg's is the HL2 download itself. MY internet at home is capped to 1gig a month?

Sorry to hear your having a problem. Did your try to download Steam from Steam direct? I just installed the Orange Box not long ago and that's what I did. Then I downloaded CS.S and HL2 from my existing account and then installed the rest from disk. I had no problems and use the same OS.Rickylee

I'm sure it's more then a gig, don't know exactly how much though. I'm still not clear why your having an issue with Steam. Is it a new install? And sorry to hear about your limited internet. Where do you live?

South Africa and here we are limited to internet, depending on what package one gets.

I just dont understand why one has to basically download the whole freakin game when ive bought it allready or did i pay a crap load of money for the nice orange box and printing matter on it. Also the non working steam exe files???

If i bought the game online then sure i can see why on has to download it but geez, i thought i bought it on a dvd in a box.

I had the same problem last time, but this is what I did :

1. Download the steam.dll and steamUI.dll files from www.dll-files.com

2. Put both of them into your C:/Windows/System folder.

3. Run Steam, it should generate the dll files in the steam folder.

4. Delete the steam.dll and steamui.dll from your system folder because if you don't , you'll get a filesystem.dll error.

Hope this works for you. If not, just try putting both dll's into the steam folder itself.
