file sharing problem

[fc3646]

My son just went to college. He bought HalfLife2 for his computer and wanted to play Team Fortress Classic against me online. Well TFC didn't come with HL 2, so I copied the contents of my original HL cd, zipped it and emailed it to him. He got it and unzipped it fine, but told me that he couldn't install it. Using remote assistance I also tried to run the setup file but his computer gave an "incorrect parameters" error.
Anyone know how to fix that, or is this something we just can't do.
If all else fails, I'll just take the CD to him in October when we go visit him.
Thanks
