DayZ / Steam / Missing Executable - Solution

[rickyriot 1009]

I have suffered the "missing executable" error with Steam on several occasions but this was the first time with DayZ. As I found a fairly easy solution I decided to make a simple graphic for others who may find themselves in a similar position.

So are people having this issue even when playing on the appropriate branch? (i.e. being set to Experimental and trying to play Experimental). With the two branches having different executable names now, you can't cross-play anymore even when it's the same build for both branches.
