If you have this problem, to fix this you have 2 options.
1. Run Directly from Game File
- Navigate to your Steam installation (By default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam)
- Then goto the SteamApps\common\skyrim directory
- From here just run TESV.exe directly.
- If it's missing, goto option 2.
2. The game file TESV.exe or any other file is missing.
- In Steam, right click Skyrim
- Select Properties
- Goto Local Files tab
- Click "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"
- It should download all broken/missing files.
- This didn't seem to fix it for me first time. So if it still doesn't work, try doing this same fix it just one more time.

Thanks, the last update screwed up my wife's skyrim and that worked to fix it.
thx buddy worked perfect
thx a BUNCH
Thx alot! it worked very good.
I am on option 2. Unfortunately, when I right-click the Skyrim folder and choose "properties", there is no "Local Files" tab. I only have 3 tabs called "General", "Sharing", and "Customize". I believe that your solution may not be compatible with Windows XP. I'm attempting option 3, which is uninstall entire game, reinstall fresh download. Hopefully this will give me a tesv.exe.
I am on option 2, but I do not have a "Local Files" tab in the properties for the skyrim folder. I only have "General", "Sharing", and "Customize". I wonder if your solution does not work for Windows XP. I am trying the unmentioned option 3, which is to completely uninstall the game and reinstall fresh. Hopefully this will replace tesv.exe.
