Game executable not found.....Help

[Crowfood]

Whenever I try to startup the game, a box pops up saying "Game executable not found. Please repair your game using the Steam Client"

Option One:
1. Go onto your steam games and then find "Arma 3".
2. Right click "Arma 3", then click "Properties".
3. Once in properties locate "Local Files" and left click it.
4. When you are in the "Local Files" tab look for the option "Verify integrity of game cache", left click that.
4 Cont. This will prompt a menu bar, wait for it to complete, then restart your "Arma 3" client.
If this does not work you will need to use option 2
Option Two :
1. Close you "Arma 3" client.
2. Go onto your steam games and then find "Arma 3".
3. Right click "Arma 3", then click "Uninstall".
3 Cont. This will uninstall your game, this usually takes about a minute or so but it will vary
computer to computer.
4. Relocate your "Arma 3" client in your steam library.
5. Click "Install" or just double click the "Arma 3" title in your library twice.
5 Cont. This will prompt a bar for the installation process. How long it takes will vary.

That, or just go into the game folder and see if there's a .exe in there.
If there is, launch it from there.
If there isn't, go look for answers in the steam support.
(Yea and do everything Towelie wrote)

yeah I had messed with the executable when I was trying to move the game to another drive, so I ended up just deleting the game and redownloading onto the correct drive.

Just delete the game from whatever harddrive it is currently on. Then just redownload the game, that is what fixed mine.
