For Portal 2 (Build v7293 was last build I tested) on Vista and above I use the command "portal2.exe -steam", also drop the .dll in the bin folder.
As far as Goldberg version it shouldn't matter. I want to say Vista compatibility is broken but 7 should still be fine and I haven't yet had to revert to an older version of Goldberg to get a game to work (except for Vista).

If the above doesn't work let me know and I'll do another test.

Awesome, works perfectly! Thanks! Now I can play every game I have on steam without it, I won't be bothered by loss of OS support or anything else like that going forward.

Or had on steam, the account is gone. Only thing I had left was a Windows 7 install with Steam on offline mode and a few games installed you still can't get anywhere else than from Steam.

Have you made any efforts at getting them to work with achievements? I have had a lot of success so far by using different versions of SSE and the Goldberg's that have overlays. The achievement watcher isn't necessary unless wanted all in one place. SSE 4.3, 4.7 or the newest Goldbergs are the best, but I have had to use Goldberg versions from last year and earlier as well, mostly the experimentals. However, the Goldberg overlays don't work a decent part of the time. SSE overlays have no problem with RIvatuner/Afterburner running but Goldberg overlays won't work and even in some games without them it still won't work like in Doom 2016. So I usually try SSE first and move to the Goldberg's. Also it is needed to turn on the inject dll and/or persist dlls for some games. I don't see that you used different versions. I guess because you don't want/need achievements, but I thought I would share my results here for others that want them.

I have less than o% interest in achievements but if someone wants to put in the work and post it I won't complain.
I've been house sitting for someone for the past two months (so shit internet and without my server) so hoping to get caught back up on projects once I get caught up on other things heh.
