Sorry I thought you said you had it on your machine, but I'm pretty sure that you need to have HL2 installed because I don't think LC can run without it. Anyway disreguard the rest of the post and when you install HL2 you shouldn't have any problems, I hope not at least. good Luck.
If you liked HL2, I think you will like this.

I purchased HL2 over the counter and when Lost Coast came out I had it downloaded and was playing it within minutes.
If you can't download it and you have HL2 on your machine it must be a firewall problem or something because I've never (and a couple of friends) have had no problem with it, other than one guys Nortons was blocking it but as soon as we gave steam access to internet again it downloaded it fine.
Thats the only thing I could think of, if you have HL2 installed then as soon as you open steam/games it should have it ready to download.
Good luck anyway, graphically it looks brilliant and gameplay is great too, but way to short. Hopefully they will bring out more addons or expansions or something it is very well done.
