Moments after updating, game fails to load, and sends a signal of “insufficient items to load cubic castles” and “missing x file or y file. Any one experiencing such problems?

Seems like this makes the game a Mobile only for the time being.
As the second message would indicate, all the files but the application itself are installing. I have tried: Deleting and re-installing all of the files including the hidden files, deleting and re-installing Steam itself, then re-installing the game, deleting and re-installing on another Steam account, restarting the computer and retrying said processes, yada-yada.
It's broken. Perhaps there should, as suggested many times, be an alternative method to installing the game. Ahem. As there was in the past. That, or the Steam download needs some work.
P.S. The reason the file location is called SteamLibrary is because it is an alternative install location, but I assure you I used the default location as well to no avail. The reason there is a second location is because the support suggested it as a potential fix for the install. It did not work either.
UPDATE: Okay, so I tried deleting and re-installing everything again. I then went to the local file, and the application was there. After clicking on it, instead of launching, it opened a prompt that disappeared too quickly to read it, and then the application vanished from the file. It is no where on the PC. It just.. deleted itself. I also downloaded it to the default location.
It's possibly because of your anti-virus software.
To fix it, turn off the anti-virus software (if you are using McAfee, turn off "real-time scanning" or make it so that the CC file is not executable). I uninstalled cc, as the anti-virus software detected a "virus" within the cc files, meaning it deleted the file required to run cc. Reinstalled it and all good.
Why is steam giving this problem too now?
