usually programs give this error when a file or folder has a strange character in it ¥€% for example. try looking through for something like that

Just install it in the root of c: and move it to your program files once it is done installing. urt doesn't have any special files that are hidden is the OS so you can move it easily.

I think you should try reinstalling the game.  I got this problem when playing urt (4.2 older versions) and it was because of a corrupt download.  Just try reinstalling.

Run Steam Fix, to see if this resolves your issue.

Computers do not have problems, they have users

Maybe you don't have permissions or something. Try right clicking the .exe installer and selecting the "run as administrator" option.

Delete the messed up installs. Run a registry cleaner. Then try to install again but not into the x86 folder.
