First off, you don't use VHE to compile, you use Batch Compiler. Second, as I remember the error "the system cannot" it due bad settings/paths or no rights to acces the files.

Unknown option "tools\hlcsg.exe"

could this mean that the path needs " "?

C:\PROGRA~1\ValveHammerEditor\mapping\ZHLT compile tools\

thats the problem. the program files is now a relativ path but the zhlt folder isnt a relative path...
its still a longtime problem which hasn'T been fixed.

as you can see the relative path of the program files which are now called: PROGRA~1

try to remove the spaces in the folders name and you should be good to go
