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.
