I don't remember the setup procedure so if you could be specific about what's happening and what you're doing that would help us.

Do you get an error message?

so i login to steam start game and it come up with a window, first time set up 1 of 2 installing vcredist 2008. then step 2 of 2 installing vdist 2010. then the window closes and nothing happens. ive left my comp on for hrs after that and the game still doesnt even open.

Try running vcredist_x86-100-sp1 and vcredist_x86-90 directly from the folder

C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Attila\redist

Make sure you disable antivirus programs and scanners before installing.

so when i go into the file to run both of these progams. it comes up with errors and wont finish the download

[Prikkiki-Ti]

Can you specify what errors you get?

[Cheesy Lunch Box]

When installing vcredist_x6-90. error 997.Overlapped I/O operation n progerss.
When installing vcredist_x860-100-sp1 it finishes installing but a window pops up after with microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable setup has failed.

Could be a corrupt registry. It's difficult to say. But with these kinds of problems I would consider re-installing Windows if I was you. Start from a clean slate, run windows update, install and update all the necessary drivers for your system including graphic drivers.

i would try looking for other versions of visual c++ on your computer and uninstall them (they can sometimes stop other versions from installing)
also try running steam as admin and when actually installing hit yes for permission

[Cheesy Lunch Box]

ill look for other versions. ive already run steam as adminbut it still does the same thing
