It's just the debugger deciding to tell you about every single C++
exception that gets thrown in Steam.dll. I don't know how to turn it
off, but we have adjusted some things in steam.dll to gretly reduce the
volume of the spammage in the next release.

If it's not there, then find any that aren't in the main Steam directory

You need to copy Steam.dll into the HL dir as well.
SteamInstallPath should not include \Steam.exe - just the directory.
Steam should be running when you do this.
Hope that does the trick.

As to the first question: the .gcf (cache) file contains everything that
Steam downloads for that application. Files the must be written out to disk

A clarification:
With Steam, the game files will always be imported into the Steam cache
(or downloaded for those without an existing install).
Except, of course, for those files you need access to (config), executables,
and any files you add (new maps, etc). They will remain on disk, but under
