Also any version of VTFEdit and GCFScape that you download from my provided links should work fine with this addon creation process) If you are unable to open GCFScape or are having other issues with it, you may be experiencing these problems because you do not have the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package(s)" or the "Microsoft .NET Framework" installed.
