When I downloaded everything and installed it correctly, I realized that the blackmesa.7z file was missing its bms.exe file. Is there a way to altrenatively download the file alone?

just extract it using 7-zip and put it in Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods
so that steam can find the game info in Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\BMS\gameinfo.txt
Source mods don’t include .exe files. Like Sersoft said, Steam finds the gameinfo.txt and it runs the game with that using a separate .exe.
Steam keeps giving me a missing executable error
Have you installed the Source SDK 2007 Base?
Yes
Hm. Is the mod installed to the sourcemods\BMS folder?
Yes, it is
What happens when you run the the sdk base 2007?
Try using this
It showed the missing executable error, your link.
How about steam://install/218 ?
I’m having the same issue as Darkflame, try to run Black Mesa through steam, missing .exe
I assume this is caused by the Source SDK 2007 not having a working .exe
When I run SDK 2007 it throws me the same error, missing executable.
Tried a bunch of options from the internet about this, would love to play Black Mesa
Did you try the usual verifying game cache?
