Steam doesn't see ARK being installed

Same issue on my PC with my account tonight. Steam started what looked like an update for Ark. That update process hung up mid way through & would not resume. Restart PC and Steam wants to reinstall Ark, although all files are there.

I ran the update through my laptop - it finished updating with no issues & can access the game as usual.

I can relate. This happened to me not too long ago. And I couldn't just reinstall it at the same location, Steam wouldn't recognize it and thought there wasn't enough hard disk space to install (because, with the old files still there, there wasn't). I ended up just deleting the entire installed copy and reinstalling from scratch, including all the mods. Yes, it took forever. And i was lucky in that I had a backup copy of my localprofile (with map and Explorer Note progress) on another drive. The appmanifest method above definitely sounds much easier...
