SteamUi.dll missing

[Calvoon]

Dear all,

 

yesterday i recieved my HTC Vive, I was trying to install the setup, but

it always cancels the process with the error "Critical Failure SteamUi.dll" missing. Steam runs smoothly and the "SteamUi.dll file is within 

the Steam Folder. Steam VR works finde as well. I already tried to delete and replace it, the error occures still. I used the search , but couldn`t find a related topic to my issue, sorry 

If I overlooked it.

Best regards

Fabian

I am getting the same error. It appears that the Vive Setup is trying to install steam, but it is already installed. The directory structure is correct as far as where steam is installed. Steam when running crashes when Vive setup tries to reinstall it. The installer still fails with the same error if Steam is not running when the Vive setup is run. It throws the error Could'nt install Steam thereafter. Thanks for your help.

So it turned out that everything installed correctly even though the installer never finished. Anyway, all good on my end now, just a weird installer error to have.
