When it stops try [ALT] + [TAB] (or [ALT] + [CTRL] + [DEL] then run tasks manger) to return to desktop. Go to installation folder and compare its files with cab archives. You'd know which file/archive makes problem. Another advice is to disable data3.cab in setup.ini by typing ";" in front of its line and test.

That is, Steam backup won't work with it as it's not downloaded via Steam, only activated.
Actually, wrong, wrong, wrong. I checked that myself.

See... the thing is, that EVERY Steam-activated game CAN be entirely downloaded off Steam with skipping the use of the DVD altogether. What matters is the key. Always.

I had an issue with FEAR 2 when I bought it. The second DVD wouldn't get read by the drive. So what I did was just activate the key and let Steam download the game in whole instead of just updating.

Of course steam backup feature would work on Skyrim. Either way, it's always installed to SteamApps -- if it's a Steam-activated game (which it is), it MUST be installed to SteamApps.

In short, using the retail DVD is only a shortcut so that Steam doesn't have to download the entire game -- it will only update it. But for reinstalling, you can either use a retail DVD, a Steam backup or just redownload the game via Steam.

Just wanted to give you a shout that this'll safely work with the HD textures and Dawnguard DLC (the latter having been released yesterday on Steam). It's just going to be noticeably bigger then!
