MonteCarbo	So I'm trying to download the mod "suicide survival" for Half Life 2, but after I downloaded it and tried to load it up it says: "Failed to launch item 'Suicide Survival' file is not valid exe [&#xST;EAMEXE%], [61.1]. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but it came up with the same error message. Any ideas?

feillyne	That error usually means that Desura found an EXE file in the wrong directory or didn't find it correctly at all. Can you right click Half-Life 2 shortcut and check Properties? It should be something like C:\program files\steam\steam.exe Right now, looking at your individual error, it seems Desura has a problem finding the Steam exe itself.
