What is the error message? Does this issue persist with other games? Just some ideas:

- Run Steam as an administrator.
- Make sure you have enough HD space.
- Try turning off your anti-virus and run the install.
- Make sure you're running the latest Steam app. If something is wrong with Steam itself, you can follow the steps at the end of the OP here: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/648814845525758346/
- Try installing to a different hard drive.
