"There was a problem with your steam installation. Please reinstall steam now"

[Bluessues]

Guys, I had this problem yesterday after an update, i cant open steam now :( Pls help me

[Bluessues]

Sir, how can i re install steam without losing my games?

[V2Blast]

Steam itself can be easily reinstalled; the game files are separate from the Steam client itself.

Are you on using Mac or Windows?

[Bluessues]

Im using windows :(, Sir can you pls explain how can i reinstall without removing my games? (Im noob)

[Bluessues]

Im gonna delete all files except for the Steamapps folder and Steam.exe? Ok i ll try...

Happened to me just now - I'm in the Trading card beta & the update must have corrupted my client......will try the fix right now.

Deleting Steam>steam, package, bin, and resource folders as well as all files except for the steam.exe file in Steam's main install folder allowed me to re-update Steam by starting it as normal. Seems to be working just fine now, awesome! :D
