As people who own CS:CZ Seem to suck, the answer is: NO IDEA!
The last 2 people I tried to help, well one was an idiot and the other never posted back.
ok, I will post the full install guide at the bottom, so that is what I am referancing when I give direcitons:
1) Try just using my install guide (to play HL simply double click on it, and if it lasks for a CDKey, put in your CS:CZ key)
If that fails try: 2) go to steam\steamApps\Your@email\ and see what is in there. If you have a folder, then try moving your nsp dirs to that folder and see if it works.
Good luck, here is the guide, and please hit us up with a response to if this worked <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

2) Play HL atleast Once via Steam (just booting up the training mission will do).
3) Download these 3 files: ns_install_v3_b1.exe ns_v30_b4_patch.exe ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe
4) Install NS V3.0 Beta 1 (ns_install_v3_b1.exe) (This should auto install to steam\steamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp, if it does not, move the NSP folder there).
5) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4 (ns_v30_b4_patch.exe) (point this at steam\steamApps\your@email\Half-Life\ do NOT include the NSP).
6) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4a (ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe) (See * at bottom).
7) Search your Hard drive(s) for folders named nsp.
8) If you have more than one you messed up. Goto Step 3.
If you folow these steps properly you will not get client.dll or map.bsp errors.
If you are positive you have folowed them corectly then redownload the installer form a different location.
*There aslo seems to be a bug with, atleast some of, the 4a installers. Try pointing it at steamApps\your@email\ instead of steamApps\your@email\half-life

"5) I purchased CZ what mods do I have access to?
A CZ retail cd-key will enable CZ and CS 1.6 in Steam, that is all."
Unless I'm reading that wrong, or it's incorrect it seems like the CZ key is pretty limited.
you have to have a valid Half Life key (not a mod key)
Probably need to spend the $10.
