--- Comment #10 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio at earthlink.net> ---
I've tested clicking the Install button for a game, and right-clicking the name
of a game in the Library list. Both bring up the same install dialog, and
neither includes a "Create new Steam Library on Drive X" option in Windows.
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious (it wouldn't be the first time), but I
don't see any other way to bring up the install menu. 

I also just tested this on my laptop, which dual boots with Windows 7, just in
case running in a VM made a difference, and got the same behavior as Wine and
XP in a VM.

I did confuse things by mentioning the native client. I do get the option to
create a new Steam Library on the dropdown list in the Linux client, along with
the libraries I've already added, and I may have been mistaken in thinking I
had to add the libraries via settings to get the dropdown list in the first
place. 

Nikolay, when you say you get the option to create a new Steam Library on X,
are you talking about the Linux client, or in Windows? Because I don't see that
at all in Windows XP or 7, even after I've added new libraries via Settings.

> Different Steam versions?

Steam automatically updates itself. The one I just tested in Windows 7 was
installed fresh today, the ones in the VM and Wine say they are up-to-date. All
my tests were in 32 bit; I don't have 64 bit Windows to test.
