game failing to be installed

Post by spanky4ever »

I recently had an issue with my PC, and I had to reinstall windows.
I then installed Stream again, and wanted to download my game. It did download ok, but stopped installing. I got the error message "initialization Failed".
I tryed go get help from Steam, but non of their advices could help.
Turning to you guys to try and help me out, ..... any good advices :huh:

I am not sure how related this is to your problem, but as always I suggest that you at least upgrade to an earlier version of Windows. Ideally something that is far away from both Apple and Microshit should be used, but that might be too much to ask.
Pay more attention to detail.
