Steam Library link doesn't launch game

So I went to play this game for the very first time and they game won't start when clicking on the game in my Steam library. I even right clicked on the game name and said to create a desktop shortcut which also doesn't work.
I had to go to the file location and create a desktop the old fashioned way then the game launched. I have multiple Steam libraries spread across different partitions, but I am not sure that is causing the issue.
I would really like to be able to launch it from my Steam library instead of cluttering up my desktop with a shortcut.
Thanks.

Is this the Mac or PC version? And what are your system specs?

Open the game installation folder and find a file named Order of Battle - Pacific.exe . Please run it. Do you receive the same error message?

No, there is no error in the Event Viewer and the game launches.

Then if the problem is only with autorun.exe, please check if your Internet security programs (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, etc.) aren't interfering with it.
