How To: Watch Old Demos

[Absolute]

Taken from Solus @ GotFrag:

What does this guide do?
This guide shows you how to install a stand-alone copy of TF2 and then patch it back to an older version.
In other words, it lets you watch old demos.

Which old demos work?
Any demos between 19 August 2008 - 16 February 2009, provided you have the right version of the map used in the demo.

How much space does this take up?
The TF2 folder is only 235mb.

How big is the patch I have to download?
35mb.

The game doesn't load when I run the shortcut.
Close steam.

I get the error "Unable to load gcfprep.dll" when loading GCF Prep.
Check that you have these installed.
Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 or greater.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package.

Why PDF? Because I would probably end up deleting the images or something if they were on my ftp
