[SOLVED] Steam failing to install

Hey guys, my first post here though I've been using Arch and lurking here for over a year now. I haven't ever found the need to post since usually I'm able to resolve all issues with the magic of the Search function, however this problem has stumped me. I've been trying to install Steam for the first time, and always run into this error after the initial install when trying to launch Steam:

This is followed by a popup window from Steam:

This happens no matter what I use to install Steam. ie. I've tried using wine, winetricks, playonlinux, and all of these run into the same problem. I have tried reinstalling wine (after removing winetricks and playonlinux) and deleting the .wine directory multiple times. I have installed the required fonts (as far as I know), have all of the optional wine dependencies and wine_gecko installed. I'm thinking I'm missing something obvious, but I just can't see it. I initially followed the instructions on the wiki to install Steam, and after those failed I've been Googling and trying out everything I find but to no avail.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Steam failing to install

I just tried the same method and work. Steam launch but i don't have a steam account so i can't test any further. Sorry i'cant figure out why you have this error.

Re: [SOLVED] Steam failing to install

The only way I have gotten steam to work is with "playonlinux" which installs its own version of wine and special fixes known to work with steam. When I try to install it on the latest version of wine with no extra fixes it doesn't work either.

Re: [SOLVED] Steam failing to install

I had this problem the other day. I think either the WINEPREFIX or WINEARCH is wrong. Try creating a new wine prefix.

For me, Steam seems to run better in 32bit

export WINEARCH=win32

export WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam-test

msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi

When I was seeing the same problem I ended up removing playonlinux and wine, deleting all prefixes and re-installing wine.
So I am not sure if that made the difference, or changing the prefix and arch afterwards.

I did try playonlinux, though I ran into similar errors. I might try it again though. (see below)

I had the same error even when changing the WINEPREFIX and WINEARCH to 32bit. I'll be trying it again though since I seem to have located part of the problem. I noticed this:

 Assert( Assertion Failed: Couldn't get string length ):..\vgui_surfacelib\win32font.cpp:912 

After uninstalling wine again, I decided to do a "find / | grep wine" to see if there was anything left hanging about. It turned out that there was still a folder for wine located in /usr/share/ containing a fonts folder filled with fonts. After deleting the folder, re-installing wine along with winetricks, and installing Steam through winetricks again, it worked. The first time. Straight after the install Steam auto-started fine to the login, and I logged in fine though I had to turn off cairo-compmgr for it to show up, otherwise I couldn't see any Steam windows. The windows were acting up, but it was functional at the very least. Strangely, after closing Steam and starting it again, there were no fonts. This is a different problem though, so I suppose I'll mark the thread solved. When I get time I think I'll try installing it through playonlinux again and seeing how it goes. Thanks for the suggestions anyhow.
