hi,

have you tried to install the program with Administrator Privileges and in Windows XP compatibility mode?

Tmac01 · 31 Oct 2012

i don't know what windows XP compatibility mode is and when i try to go to c/windows/installer it gives me a dialog box that says it is not accessible and access denied

Sounds like a permissions issue to me.

run as administrator the program

Run as Administrator or Elevated Admin rights = Right Click on .EXE file (install file) and a small window will open, you will then see an option that says "Run as Administrator"... you now left click on this option.

Have you gone to the Steam Forums or Tech support to see if they can lend a hand or shed some light?
