Fairly sure I've given up.
Rescla, dont bother asking that. That cannot be the problem; Steam has been re-worked OVER AND OVER to work for ANY version of Windows, even 16-bit Windows can handle Steam, although it WILL slow them down.

If anything, I'd advise Awl to download any update he might've missed and to look in his services if the Windows Installer service is running.

If not, start it up. If it's NOT THERE, download it from Microsoft. Although you should get it upon proper update, if it's not there.

Couldn't you wait for a reply from Awl? Let's just see if re-downloading works, k?

His problem seems to be directly tied to Windows Installer.

Steam does not seem to be the problem.

Frankly, the real piece of advise should've been to restart his PC first.

Well, considering that the main cause for this kind of error is corrupt installer as far as I know, it is only obvious to me to do say that first. And it takes less time. And time is money.

Actually no, Windows Installer has a bad tendency to crash at random moments.

A corrupt installer MAY be a reason for it to crash, but it wont get back up unless you manually shut it down through the Task Manager OR reboot your PC.

Really? I must of missed it earlier, it's not a bad thing to get, you can get a lot of good deals from steam. (Every Valve game for 100 dollars, and there's like 10 games in it)
I don't use dollars, I'm English.
And I don't have that much money.

Maybe he's actually meaning to say you're THE only one :3

Also.. Awl?

It was just an example. There's dozens of games UNDER 5$ too, that are actually really good. And if you use British pounds, Deshar.. well.. THE SAME COUNTS FOR THAT. O_o;
