How I make the Launcher crash every time. Step by step method ;)

"Steam says installing 1 update Microsoft VC Redist Package (update 1 of 1)"

I get this message each time I start the game, but I guess I am one of the "lucky ones" that does not have the CTD issues.
So CTD may not necessarily be related to the above message., but I agree the above is a steam issue.

system spec.: Microsoft Windows Vista(6.0.6002 sp2), HP-Pavilion, AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core processor, Memory 3GB
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GT440

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

Would it be okay to ask a few of you to go through exactly the same steps as I did ( but I see some of you will not get the Microsoft message) just to see if you get a launcher crash too?

If more people get the same crash, it may be a start to tracking down the Launcher problem (as long as we file crash dump files).

Cheers, MP
