Install steam first and THEN install hl2.
Use the Setup.exe on the cd and not the hl2.msi which only starts the hl2 install and not both.

But when i run setup.exe i got an error;

16 bit ms-dos subsystem
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.
Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

So its my PC the problem?

Autorun.exe starts Setup.exe so obviously Setup.exe shuld work........
So either you do it all wrong or yes you have a fucked up system Smile

And if you cant use Setup.exe install steam first using Steam.exe (or steam.msi) and then hl2.exe (or hl2.msi) and it shuld work.

You will still have a fucked up system though because Setup.exe SHULD work Wink

Check this by the way and try to solve it.
