    Hello Kauan Henrique 🇧🇷,

    Looks like you're experiencing issues with reinstalling Steam, if so, let's try this suggestion:

    Delete any remaining Steam files in the following directories below depending on your OS bit. Delete the files there before attempting to reinstall Steam again:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

    C:\Program Files\Steam

    Sometimes when you uninstall Steam, some files may remain on your computer.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks,

    Have you tried to run a new setup file? If it works, then the previous one is corrupted.

    Are you experience same issue with other setup files?

    The setup is new and already requests administrator permissions, the problem is that the setup wizard (i think) of it closes itself when openned

    Did you run the setup file as an administrator by right-clicking on the setup file and choose "Run as administrator" from the context menu? This can sometimes resolve issues with installation files that require elevated privileges.

    Another option am thinking of is to download a fresh copy of the Steam setup file. It's possible that the setup file you are trying to use is corrupted or otherwise damaged. Try downloading a fresh copy of the setup file from the official Steam website and see if that resolves the issue.

    Thanks,

    Steam is fully uninstalled, the problem is that the steam setup.exe file, when run, closes itself right after, and for that reason (probably) i cant install steam
