Hammer Won't Compile TF2 Map

[Little Fireeeeeeee]

I am trying to compile a map from hammer but everytime I compile the compile window finishes up and nothing happens, the compile log dosen't have any errors (uesd Interlopers), and this problem is only happening on the TF2 version of hammer, if I load up a HL2 map on hammer it works like a charm. Anybody know what to do?

Here's my compile log if that helps:

[Tiftid]

It IS compiling the map correctly, but it's failing to open the game afterwards.

If you look at the end, you'll notice it's trying to open "steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\hl2.exe".
This executable was removed in the 64bit patch.

To fix this, go into this menu:

Then go to Build Programs and make sure "Game executable" is set to "tf_win64.exe" instead of "hl2.exe".

Don't worry about how it says Hammer++, you can do this even in regular Hammer.
Hope this helps!
