--- Comment #12 from Julian Lam julian.lam@gmail.com 2009-03-15 10:55:32 --- I've removed .wine as asked, and removed wine-gecko using apt-get.
I reinstalled steam on a pre-generated .wine directory, and I am still unable to install games.
Vitaliy, listen to me, there is an "install" button on the "Games" window in Steam. You press it to install games that have not been downloaded to your computer yet.
A new error message has cropped up since:
