To clarify, if you have an old steam client installed, you can have problems.
It does not need to be running to interfere.

Thanks for the reply and advise Mike, I have tried the suggestions you posted
bellow but the server is still having the issue.
I double checked and -verify_all did have the correct syntax in the batch file
we use to update.
I did remove the InstallRecord.blob, as far as I am aware it had no affect.
I did double look into the bin folder and I did as you said and
re-named/re-downloaded the contents of the folder but I am still having the
same issue.
The box that runs the servers is not really used for much else, no steam client
was running and the only (significant) other things It has running is Filezilla
(Server/Client), ServerDoc, multiple Garry's Mod servers and also a Terraria
server. Also, to be more precise - The server is running Window's Server 2008
R2 Datacenter-Edition, though I doubt this is the problem.
I have just now installed a completely fresh install of TF2, its completely
vanilla and is being launched through a basic batch file. The vanilla-fresh
installed server is still having the same issue where it is Unble to load steam
support libraries.
Thanks for the help,
Jon

Dear Jon,
I just wanted to confirm you're using the correct syntax for the verify
option in the command line, which should be "-verify_all"
If that is correct and the files are still out of wack, perhaps you should
try the following:
1. Force an version check on the server by deleting the "
InstallRecord.blob" file found in the game server's root folder might get
things moving?
2. If the above doesn't fix any mismatched files, then I would shutdown the
game server, rename the /orangebox/bin folder to bin.old, then run the
update again so it loads a fresh copy of the bin folder. I believe the files
you are having trouble with are all in that folder.
You might also wish to be sure Steam is not running on the box during the
update process. There have been mixed reports that having a Steam client
running on the same box as the game servers has been causing some problems
with updates when valve makes changes to the Steam binaries within the SRCDS
software.
Please keep us posted so other may benefit if you fix it.
Good luck bud, you'll get it!
Mike
