Not my experience. Perhaps a bit more paying attention to what I actually posted and not what you 'wished' I posted. Now how about back on topic to a fix? Seems to be a lot of upset posters here.

Well, even though many of us in "the business" have had access to the RTM for two months or so the official release date is still almost two weeks away so I guess it's hard to "demand" it from Steam that is the one that starts the c++ redist installation before installing the game? And the redist installation that "fails" is from Microsoft themselves and if they had "failed nicely" with a "continue" button enabled that could let you proceed with a normal exit code there would be no problem? Hardly feels like an issue to take up with the developers? Not that I'm sure of it but the invocation of the redist is not done by them (i guess ). As I recall it the installation of C++ redist and DirectX is done for many games as part of the Steam installation "scripts" so it's really Steam that should fix it... Or rather the installer should have been made like the DirectX installer that is built with future versions of the OS in mind and simply exits with an "OK" exit code if a later version is already installed.

Not a big issue, and when Windows 8 is released I'm sure it will be fixed.

EDIT: Found a thread on the Steam forum that might help you as it seems like a "generic" Steam problem like i guessed above:

The Steam app id for Clod is 63950 by the way...
