Hello,
the issue is caused by the name of you Steam library folder. It contains a space at the folder name ("Steam "). The Microsoft technology we use can't process a folder with such name and that is the cause of this error. Unfortunately we can't fix it or workaround it (normally Windows won't allow you to create a folder with such a name).

So the solution for you is to rename the Steam library folder so it doesn't contain a space at the end (or start).
