k well it's this "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library".
heres what i just did, closed steam etc deleted installrecord.blob, reinstalled the hldsupdatetool, updated it, restarted my comp, tried running it, and the same thing pops up.
p.s., i do have the clientregistry.blob if i would need to delete that or something.

Do you have CSS Client installed on the same machine?
Of so, can you still play it?
Where did you find clientregistry.blob?
You can try deleting it.

Do you have any new *.mdmp files you can attach?
Does it alway crash when complaining about Translation ID's?
If so, how many lines of ID's are there?
Do you have any suspicions that your hard drive is failing?
Have you done a clean reinstall of all things steam?
That would mean removing any folders left behind.
And maybe do a defrag before reinstall to change the physical location on your disk.

Try using the uninstall features.
Then delete anything left behind.

There are no reinstall features, it's simply a folder with a program inside, so yes just delete it.
Just one other suggestion, don't know if you tried it yet. (mentioned it but...)
Delete the InstallRecord.blob and update with -verify_all then
