This ought to have been in the Gamerz section.

Anyway, as you say that the game gives an error while installation, the installation disk must be corrupted. Try to see if the shop keeper agrees for a new copy in exchange for this one.

In case he doesn't the next step will be more difficult. You will be required to send the game to the publishers so that they can send you a new copy. Now that would be quite a bit of a hassle.

One thing that you can do however is this. Since you say that you have the original game, you must be having the game CD key. Simply login to Steam with your account and register your HL2 CD key. Now under the names of "My Games", you will see that HL2 and a few other games listed. Now download the game contents via Steam and play.

I know downloading the whole game can be a hassle, but thats the best thing rather then sending it all the way to USA for a new copy.

inorder to install the game properly u have to select both hl2 as well as counterstrike source to install while running the installation. try it, it will work.

I don't think that it is necessary to install Counterstrike: Source for the proper installment of HL2.
I think you should tell the shop-keeper to exchange your copy of HL2 for a new one as it is corrupted.

That'll pay you for buying the original pack. Like Steam ,dude? Congrats now you're stuck with a game that does'nt work, plus it costs you.
