o and by the way: this tutorial works better than the other one and it is simpler (in my opinion....no offence) (i am reposting and changing it to the way i did it....it is not my actual tutorial-----------> 

Normally the installer creates a folder called 'hidden' in the sourcemods directory. It's different for HL2DM-only, but you need to get ahold of that 'hidden' directory anyway, you just put it in a different place. Run the installer and see where it extracts to, so you can find this folder. Once you find the hidden folder, move it to: 

SteamApps/username/half-life 2 deathmatch/ 

so the full path will be: 
SteamApps/username/half-life 2 deathmatch/hidden 

Now look in SteamApps/username/half-life 2 deathmatch/ and you should find hl2.exe. Right-click on it and choose 'create shortcut'. Go to the properties of the shortcut you just created and find where it displays the 'target' path. You'll need to add 

-game hidden 

to the end of this line, so it reads 
"SteamApps/username/half-life 2 deathmatch/hl2.exe" -game hidden 

Click Apply, then Ok. Then rename the shortcut to "The Hidden" and copy it to your desktop. When you run the shortcut, hidden should launch normally.
