Never mind. I got it figured out. Even though the VIVE software was telling me to have Steam open and Online, that was actually the problem. what worked for me was closing Steam and then starting the VIVE software installation. Then through the process of the installation the VIVE software launches Steam for you and you then login. After doing that, the install completed. It seems that the VIVE installation software was unable to detect that Steam was already opened and logged in. So it stalled out.
