Hammer++ supports different branches of Source engine. You must click the correct one for the game you are mapping for, or Hammer++ will not start up. Installation instructions are found inside a README.txt file contained in the downloads.

Installation

To update Hammer++ if you had it already installed, download the new version, then simply drag and drop the files over your existing install. When you are asked to overwrite any files, click yes.

Game/Mod not listed?

You might still be able to use Hammer++ with it. If it's a multiplayer game or mod, use the Source SDK 2013 Multiplayer download. For singleplayer, try the Source SDK 2013 Singleplayer download.

Note

Some Windows versions have an issue where the File Open dialog will freeze Hammer++. As a workaround, open hammerplusplus_settings.ini in Notepad and set FileDialogHack to false.
