newgeneration manager Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 This instilation package could not be opened Verify that the package exist and that you can access it, or contact the application to verify vendor. To verify that this is a valid windows installer package. my computer uses vista basic. can any one help me fix this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim_Less Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 contact steam support for that again this is an issue with your system i think retail will have the same problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swed151 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Do you have admin rights on the user account you are trying to install from? Windows Installer is a core engine of the Windows OS. It sounds like your Windows Installer may be corrupt, and if that's the case you will have similar problems trying to install anything. If you know how to use the command prompt, you can type the following after navigating the prompt to the correct directory. msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi /l*v .\install.log That will generate a log file of the installation process, named install.log.
