I know its basic, but delete all temp files and look for registry entries
referring to the "wise installation wizard", then try again after a restart,
so I doubt this was much help.

That's probably your problem. You need to install HL, update it, and *then*
install CS 6.5. In fact, there's no need to go from 1.0.0.5 to 1.0.0.8--you
should simply us the latest patch to go from 1.0.0.5 all the way to 1.1.0.0.
Same with CS: don't install an old version and then update it. Just install the
latest version. I understand you may be trying to avoid extra downloading, but
it's more reliable to do fewer upgrades, especially since you're having
problems.
