You may be right. Typically steam would run those as part of the first game launch, but apparently it's not happening.

I've been having this problem as well, it started right after I had to reinstall windows. I've been trying to track down the issue (hoping it was something screwed up in windows), the error is coming from the MS Visual C++ 2008 distrib: ERROR: Cannot resolve reference Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195".
