Endless Paradigm

I'm trying to get Steam set up on a desktop but every time I try to launch it, it starts the update process, tries three times (gets to 27%), and then gives me the "Steam is temporarily unavailable, please try again". I'm logged in right now on my laptop so I don't get what's wrong.

I found a few posts on forums (even one by Sky) that say to delete some Registry keys. I did that and nothing happened...

If it's working on your laptop why don't you just copy and paste that steam client over to your PC?

I have no real solution to your problem D:!!

Backup your appdata folder, and then run a repair install


Or try deleting the clientregistry.blob, which should force another update, which might help it work

Did both....Didn't work. The updating part is the issue. It won't do it.

I have never installed steam on my PC and it runs fine off my external hard drive.
So that's where that logic came from

Mebay yer IP is eXx1l3d?

Give me a few details:

You want to have Steam on your desktop and thus ran the installer and did a fresh install, right?
You have nothing copied over from your laptop regarding Steam?
Has your desktop some AntiVirus programs/firewalls?

1: Yes
2: Nope, nothing.
3: Yes (ESET Smart Security). I added an exception to the firewall though.

@ Methid:



Does that make any sense if my laptop is connected?
