Reinstalled Windows 11 and lost my CS 1.6 installer

[EntropyKing]

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I recently reinstalled Windows 11 on my computer, and like an idiot I forgot to back up the installer for my Counter-Strike 1.6. I still had the game folder copied to another drive, so I thought I could just paste it back and play. But it works terribly – the game stutters, some sounds are missing, and it crashes randomly. I guess a copied folder is not the same as a proper installation. Now I urgently need a clean installer to set up the game correctly. Could anyone recommend a reliable source where I can get a proper setup file? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for the early replies. I want to add a bit more detail. The copied folder I have was originally installed on my old Windows 10 system, and it worked fine there. But after the Windows 11 reinstall, just copying the folder back causes all sorts of problems – probably because the registry entries and some system files are missing. I do not want to mess with registry fixes or try to patch the folder manually. I just need a normal installer that will do a clean installation from scratch, with all files in the right places. I am not looking for a modified repack with custom skins or extra mods – just a standard, working build that installs properly and runs smoothly on Windows 11. Does anyone know a safe place to get such an installer?
