If you are one of many who had an issue installing the Steam Game client on Windows 7 (32 or 64), a solution has been found. It works. I used it and successfully installed the client.

Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. http://wer.microsoft.com/Responses/include/images/SecurityBadge_16x16.gif In the User Account Control window, verify that Program name is Windows Command Processor, and then click Yes.
In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type or paste the following text at the prompt:
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\Disabled Sessions /va /f
Press Enter to install the solution.
If The operation completed successfully displays, close the Administrator: Command Prompt window to complete this procedure. If "ERROR: Access is denied" displays, repeat this procedure from the top, making sure you clicked Run as administrator in step two.
