I am also getting this error; hence, resolving it is frustrating, but it is not impossible. We are not alone in this struggle, as many players have reported that they cannot update Counter-Strike 2 on MAC.

Clear Download Cache

After Downloading games using Steam, there are often GBs of cache stored on the system that is not deleted by itself.

Verify The Integrity Of The Game Files

Game files often get corrupted or damaged, which makes the game malfunction. Checking the integrity of the game files after any malfunction is a must. Steam lets you repair corrupt files and verify their integrity.

Check For Server Outages

Sometimes, the error “missing executable” can be caused due to various server outages. To check if a server is down, visit Forums like SteamCommunity, Reddit, etc. 

Another way to check if the server is down is to visit DownDetector. This site will tell you if the server is down based on the number of reports worldwide. 

If the servers are down, you can only wait for them to return online.
