Steam seems to have some major issues with the final 3rd party software installs for L.A.Noire and actually launching the game.
This can be fixed very easily, to fix it please do as follows
If you've had issues with the third party apps not installing (Rockstar games Social Club to be specific) then you have to Verify Game Integrity
1) Open Steam
2) Right click L.A.Noire and select Properties
3) Select Local Files
4) Click Verify Integrity Of game cache
*Important, do not run the game after this process is finished until you have completed all other steps
Next you have to disable UAC totally
1) Open Control panel
2) Select Users Accounts & Family safety
3) Select User Accounts
4) Select Change User Account Control Settings
5) Put the slider down to never notify
6) Click OK
Next you have to run Steam as administrator
1) Totally exit Steam by right clicking the Steam icon and selecting Exit Steam
2) Navivate to the following directory
Windows 32 bit (X86)
c:\program files\steam
Windows 64 bit (X64)
c:\program files [x86)\steam
3) Right click Steam.exe and select Run as administrator
Steam should now lauch as normal (except with admin privilages), now you can launch the game. People who had problems with RGSC installing should now see it install, once thats finished the game should launch perfectly.
Once your game has launched once it will work without following this guide every time.
Hopefully this will help some people.
