You need to install it to SourceMods in your steamapps folder, not the original Portal directory; Portal Prelude is not a map pack. Also, remember that you need to restart Steam by right-clicking on the Steam icon in your system tray and selecting "Exit" and then relaunching after you've installed Prelude.
Hope that helps.

After you've installed Prelude, exit Steam fully by right-clicking on the Steam icon in your system tray and selecting "Exit". Relaunch Steam and then launch Prelude by double-clicking "Portal: Prelude" in your Steam games list.
I hope that helps.

Sorry for disturbing again,but I don't know how to add "portal" to "my game " list in steam.If you could help me with this problem.Thank you

Portal or Portal: Prelude? They're not the same thing. Portal is a game created by Valve, and Portal: Prelude is a mod. This website is for Portal: Prelude. If you don't have Portal you can buy it from the Steam Store.
I hope that helps.

Portal:prelude.Sorry for not mention it.I have the original game and I have recently installed the Portal:Prelude in steammaps/Sourcemods.I don't have either Portal or Portal:Prelude in "My game" list from Steam and I don't know how to add them.I have bought both games from a PC magasine with cd.I finished "portal" and now I don't know how to start portal:prelude.I read that i have to put it in the list "my games" on steam,but I just don't know how to do it(sorry if i wasn't more specific before,my english isn't so good).Please help me if you can.Thanks again and sorry for the annoyance

If you have a genuine, legal copy of Portal it should almost definitely be in the list. If your copy of Portal is pirated, I'm not going to offer anymore assistance. Also could you tell me the exact directory of where you installed Portal: Prelude?
Thanks.

No,I bought Portal from a shop.There is a code oin the game's manual.Do I have to write it on Steam?(I mean to activate it?).
The path is this:c\program files\portal\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\portal prelude

I heard there's some retail version of Portal that don't really need Steam to work.
I don't know why they did it, but I don't think the mod is compatible with non-steam versions of Portal.
You can at least try to integrate your Portal into Steam, but without Steam, you can't make the mod to work.

At last,I did it.
I put Portal on steam(that code must be activated on steam)
As for Portal:Prelude I did something simple(though not very good).I copied the maps from"Prelude" and pasted them over the original portal maps.It's strange,but it seems that I can still play the old portal(With saves and everything) and on "bonus maps"it appears"Portal:prelude Mod Bonus Maps".They work very fine and are cooler than the original portal game.
Thanks for the help,I'llcontact you if I have another problem.

I just downloaded the game and I did everything needed, I installed it in steamapps/sourcemods and I right-clicked exit on steam and then opened it again, but what do I have to do now. I don't get it

Isn't the game in your games list?
I don't know how to help you, did you read the FAQ beforehand?

I have the normal Portal in the game list, but I didn't buy it. I downloaded it, it's a steam version though, is that maybe the reason??
Offline
ey, dude. I'm sorry. I've seen a clip on youtube about Prelude and I thought that it's free, so I downloaded it. But now I see that you have to buy it, so i guess i'll just go pay for it.
Offline
ok, I have original portal, but it's pirated
Offline
NykO he didn't pirate it. Steam is giving out free portal right now. Anyways, install SDK base.

Hey, i've got the same problem... i got portal on steam for free (some promo) and now, when i try to do the prelude, it says you must have a steam game installed?
