The error sais:

In order to run Steam properly, the Steam Client Service component must be installed. The installation progress requires administrator privileges and may take a couple of minutes. Depending on your Upper Account Control settings (UAC), you may see another dialog adding for permissions to continue.

Install Service – Cancel

That’s what I read

your good BvD :P
yea thats what it says.. anyway i did cancle then tried to get in the game again.. and i got this message again.. so i press install and steam gets stuck for a while.. when it gets back, the game did not open, the message got closed (without me doing something) so i try to go on to the game again and i get this again.

btw i tryed to restart steam and try getting in the game again but still didn’t help..
(oh and this happends with l4d2 DEMO only.)

Have you tried running Steam as admin? Close it, then right click on it in All Programs and click “Run as Administrator”.

Go in Steam settings and take the Steam Client Beta to fix the “Incomplete installation” problem.
