    I just downloaded the torrent file and it has about 45 files that are compressed. Is there a specific extraction point? I didn't see any installation instructions. Also, each file has a setup.exe but it will not launch. How do you install?

    Ummm Can you be banned for being presumptuous and immature?

    Now can anyone help me with this. There are 45 files. I open the first file and when I go to run setup.exe, it won't execute saying to "use actions instead." I would assume that there would be one setup to run. Or should I manually create and extract each folder independently?

    I think it requires you to have the game on steam and already launched from what it mentions from their website. Have you done that? ._.

    From the website itself

    I have downloaded hl2 ep1 and 2 and launched each once then exited...will look for the SDK and make sure that is up to date but assume it is since I play L4D2 and CS:S daily.

    By 45 files are all of them in zip/rar format? If so, try extracting all of them to one folder first and then run the setup ._.

    This is an assumption that big media companies want people to have. It's not healthy by any means and many many legal things are torrented every day as it is a good way to distribute files even if you don't have a big server or want to use a file hosting site.
