This happened with the previous beta too.
So I uninstalled it, installed the beta from yesterday and when I click Finish, an installer pops up saying "Configuring Steam, please wait". I have Steam, I use it on a daily basis, but I don't know how is it related to Classic Shell. After the installer disappears, everything works fine.

It's only a minor annoyance. Why does the "Configuring Steam" pop-up appear, after I finished the installation of Classic Shell beta 4.0?

You still haven't stated clearly what the problem is. Is it "After Classic Shell installs the Steam configuration window pops up"?

Oh, sorry about that, yes, that's the minor annoyance.

OK, now we are getting somewhere. What version of Windows are you using, and what version of Steam? Can you include a screenshot of the problem?

Had a similar experience here, following the completion of the initial beta install and reboot. On Windows start-up, once at the desktop screen, the MS project installer ran - I have project already fully installed on this PC. Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the issue either by a subsequent re install or on the most recent beta.

@Technik - have you logged out or rebooted recently before that?
I know that some Office components register to auto-start, maybe MS project has something similar.
Since those are usually self-repairing packages, it may be that something was corrupted (maybe an icon was deleted from the start menu?) which will trigger the installer.
Does that sound plausible?

That would be entirely plausible - as it was not repeatable and quite possible in moving some icons around something in the MS$ world became broken - it might be the same issue with Steam ?

lostprophet reported the problem appeared after the installer finished. I can't think of anything that will trigger Steam at that time.

I have Win 8.1 and Steam installed. I installed the v4 beta last night and did not see this. Very strange...

My guess is that Steam checks for updates when Explorer restarts. Explorer can restart after a logoff or during an install if you are upgrading from an older version of Classic Shell.
I am seeing a similar behavior with 7TT, which tells me there is a new version every time Explorer restarts.
