Lights.rad has disappeared

[sabre0001]

After Source SDK just finished updating i tried compiling a map segment that I have been working on...However when it hit the VRAD part this is what i was faced with:

Valve Software - vrad.exe (Dec 15 2004)
----- Radiosity Simulator ----
1 threads
Could not find lights.rad in lights.rad.
Trying VRAD BIN directory instead...
ERROR: Couldn't open texlight file c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\****\sourcesdk\bin\lights.rad

What do i do? My map is fully bright and does this mean that if i try to compile another map that i had been working on (when everything was functional), this will also happen??

Yes, this happened to me too. But it works when you copy lights.rad file to that directory

Dont stick it in every directory...

I put vrad in like 4 directories figuring it would find it, it no longer goes to "looking for vrad in bin" or what ever it goes right through... but when it finishes it says "can not create bsp" or something to that effect... id do it now but it takes 20 minutes to run map all the way... 100+ hours then a patch killing my map is angry.
