Metro 2033 Setup not launching.

I can't seem to get this to go. :/

The disk has a few minor scratches. I bought it used, so that's to be expected. As far as I can tell it's nothing major.

I don't believe it's my drive either. I just installed Escape From Butcher Bay a couple days ago and it went fine.

Autorun pops up, however it takes a bit longer than usual and the icon for the disk is slow to load, and going through and manually executing the setup doesn't work. Nothing happens.

I can't help but think this is a steam issue, but the fact that autorun is slow, doesn't really ring right either.

Steam help of course sucks.

How is it Steam's fault that you bought a used, possibly faulty, scratched disk????

Anyway you can try cleaning the disk - How to Clean a DVD or CD Disc ?

You can also try copying the contents to the hard drive and then launching installer from there; hopefully that'll work. If not..... well..... you did by a used disk

BTW I've been using Steam since 2004 (Half-Life 2) and don't have any issues. At any rate....

Steam is a digital game distribution system as well as a digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve. It is used to distribute a large number of games and related media entirely over the internet, including automated updates. Issues? - Steam Support

The steam client installer from the disk works. :/

And there are some major problems with steam man. (day one patches...)

But thanks for the tip about copying to the hd. I should've thought about that.
