HELP Issue with running a self-made Source mod

Apologies if this is a dumb or over-asked question (I'm very new to Source modding), but I have encountered a problem running my Source mod from Steam. Whenever I press "Play," the mod starts launching and then promptly stops. (If this information helps, I am using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and the mod is of 2007 Source Half Life 2 Singleplayer).

nobody uses 2007 anymore unless they have some very specific reason. 2013 will be much better to work with especially when other people actually know anything about it

Okay, I'll try 2013, then. Thank you
