Then use GetParent function, available in the NSIS manual under Useful Scripts to get X:\Path\To\Valve.

Function .onInit

 Call GetSteamAccountName
Pop $R0 ; account name e.g. afrow uk
Pop $R1 ; steam path e.g. C:\Valve\Steam

Push $R1
 Call GetParent
Pop $INSTDIR

FunctionEnd

Hy thank you for your reply


But i've write this script for a noun steamversion. And there is the path e.g. C:\Programs\Valve

How can I do this ?

There musn't be found an account name... only the patch where the game was installed must be found.

Thank you

Please use your imagination!
The function returns the Steam install path, so now all you need to do is check if the Counter-Strike source GCF files exist...

Function .onInit

  Call GetSteamAccountName
 Pop $R0 ; account name e.g. afrow uk
 Pop $R1 ; steam path e.g. C:\Valve\Steam

 IfFileExists "$R1\SteamApps\counter-strike source client.gcf" 0 +2
 IfFileExists "$R1\SteamApps\counter-strike source shared.gcf" +3

 MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP "CS:Source not installed!"
  Abort

 Push $R1
  Call GetParent
 Pop $INSTDIR

FunctionEnd
