Completely & totally screwed here :(

2 different machines, both doing the same thing

General order of thing
- hldsupdatetool crashes doing the update (no longer outputs to a cmd
window- so difficult to see why)
- Delete the ClientRegistry.blob file, run hldsupdatetool -command update
-- Updates, but errors creating the blob file: 
C:\games\hl2ds>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Getting version 35 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
Downloading. . . . . . . . . .
C:\games\hl2ds>Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
CMultiFieldBlob: Unable to grow blob

Creates a 1.55kb blob file

- Ctrl & C, then re-try the command comes back with:
C:\games\hl2ds>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation

C:\games\hl2ds>

- Check the games list works:

C:\games\hl2ds>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game list
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation

C:\games\hl2ds>

It appears to be purely an issue with an invalid blob file being created,
stopping it from actually running :(

Just you. Takes a while to run right now though.
