The Binding of Isaac not working(Missing Executable)
I asked this question months ago, but no one answered a good answer. So I'm posting it again. And keep in mind mods that this should not be flagged as a similar question to other existing ones as I, over the course of months, tried all of them. So! Here's my problem.
So this happened about a year ago. I just boot up Isaac like normal, and it's missing an executable. This is no big deal. I delete the game, reinstall it, and it still doesn't work. I tried whitelisting the entire steam folder from all of my antiviruses(V3 Lite and Comodo Antivirus). And then I noticed something peculiar: the game doesn't really install. Upon checking the download hub, I found the game stalled at about 95% of downloading, then flags it as a "canceled update", although the download says 573/573 downloaded. And sometimes when the game somehow installs seemingly randomly, it gives me the missing execution error. I checked the game files, and everything like the DLLs and data are there, but no exe. The shortcut on my pc screen also gives the exact some error. any help? EDIT: Keep in mind upon attempting to download the game again, it briefly says download completed before it saying it was canceled, if this matters.

There are a couple of ways to resolve this:

Have the anti-virus software exclude that game folder when it scans for malicious content.
