#How to install skyrim from disc without steam update
Looking at your 3rd update though, it is a bit baffling. Alternatively, Usually clicking a game that is not up-to-date, it will start the update, and show an ETA message til game is playable. How can I check skyrim is up It should show a downloading status at the bottom of steam when viewing the library, showing the current progress of the download(update).

Does it give anyone a cluse as to what's wrong? The 'install' button seems wrong. Here is what the splash screen looks like. Reinstalled Skyrim from disc, letting it install steam in the process. Verified my Skyrim files, Uninstalled Skyrim. Would any of these caused the issue? Of do you think my DVD is broken?

I've got Kaspersky running, and have had to (due to unrelated shennanigans) rename my steam folder steampowered, which is the only remaining thing that might have caused an issue. I've tried renaming installscript.vdf which also does nothing. So I've tried to follow the advice here and renamed my folder (called VCredist) which just causes Steam to tell me that skyrim may not have synced with the cloud correctly. Why is this happening? How can I get around it? If Steam is closed, and I try via the disk, it loads the splash screen with an option to run the game but shortly after it just pops up with the install skyrim splash screen. I've tried to run it through steam, from the setup.exe in the disk and the TESV.exe in my steamapps folder but every time it tried to install the game again, then fails.
