usually programs give this error when a file or folder has a strange character in it ¥€% for example. try looking through for something like that

Just install it in the root of c: and move it to your program files once it is done installing. urt doesn't have any special files that are hidden is the OS so you can move it easily.

I think you should try reinstalling the game.  I got this problem when playing urt (4.2 older versions) and it was because of a corrupt download.  Just try reinstalling.

Run Steam Fix, to see if this resolves your issue.

Maybe you don't have permissions or something. Try right clicking the .exe installer and selecting the "run as administrator" option.

Delete the messed up installs. Run a registry cleaner. Then try to install again but not into the x86 folder.

Alright Ratt[1up], I did this for you. All you have to do is download this zip folder then exact it to the folder you want Steam to be installed in, then go into that folder and run (double click) on the Steam.exe --it will then spend some time updating your Steam.

This way Steam is already installed. It just has to update to a long, long list of files. And then you will have to verify your Steam account again, but at least your installation problem is over.
