Hi

Here's my sequence of events...

- I put in CD1 of the standard retail version and ran 'setup.exe'.

- I chose "Install Half-life"

- I accepted the agreement

- I CHANGED THE INSTALLATION DIRECTORY TO MY SECOND PARTITION (D:\Program Files) , which has more space

- After installing a few files, the program threw this error up:

"Error 1317. An error occurred while attempting to create the directory
C:\Documents and Settings\[MYNAME]\Application Data"

(where [MYNAME] is the current user and has full admin rights)

It even fails if I retry and leave the directory on C:\

Why-oh-why would the game have CREATE that directory, if it already exists???
