@ Hot-Doc: See above for your "both doors" question... serves us right for not describing things precisely enough.

Concerning the installer problem: Try a dummy liblist.gam. I already tricked another installer (not Austin's, though) with this method.
And besides, I think he made the installer so "restrictive" (and thus, at the same time fool-proof) because he had people unlike you and me in mind... people who don't know much about installing custom stuff and are afraid they could do something wrong... for such people, a "restrictive" installer is really optimal, because it doesn't ask or demand anything. So to speak, it doesn't say something like "Ok, buddy. Where's your cstrike folder? Eh? Where? Point me to it...", and the user wonders "cstrike or counter-strike? But I have this and that version, does that matter? Aww, no, I don't want to spoil anything". A "restrictive" installer gives a much more comfortable feeling. It kinda tells you: "Success, my friend! I found everything I need - just click, and I'll do the rest for you". It's kinda like windows - on one hand, it hides many useful resources behind a -sometimes VERY restrictive- interface, but that was the key to its success: It got the computer out of the nerd corner by making it look friendlier and easier to handle for n00bs... 9_9
I understand you, Hot-Doc - I prefer a rar or zip over anything else, but we are not the only ones...
