My laptop doesn't have the internet, so I was forced to install and download Half Life 2, Ep 1 & Ep 2. Now I'm trying to transfer Ep 1 & Ep 2 to my laptop so that I can play them. Everything is going well, except for the fact that I can't find the executables. Anyone have any idea where they are?

Look in SteamApps/common/Source SDK Base

No go, sorry. All I have in my "common folder" is:

Half-Life 2\
SteamVR\
Team Fortress 2\

I should also mention, I bought the Orange Box, if that helps!

This is probably a really dumb question, but would they be in the hl2 folder?

What's in SteamVR?
Have you checked Program Files?

Have you checked Program Files?

There is only "hl2.exe" which launches Half-Life 2 on my laptop. I tried changing "steam_appid.txt" from 220, to 420 and use the "hl2.exe" launcher to boot Episode 2 with no luck.

SteamVR contains 3 directories, "bin", "drivers", "resources".

None of the directories have the launchers in them.

The games aren't installed in the Program Files directory.

There ain't no username folder mate. Thanks for trying. Since it's being a bitch, I'll just play them on this machine... Here's to hoping my mouse will work on it though LOL

<EDIT> Since you are helping me out, could you check this Skydrive link. I've uploaded models from, Counter Strike 1.6, Half Life I & Need For Speed VI: Hot Pursuit II. I just want to know if it can be accessed by general people.
