This issue also affects me. I purchased Anomaly: Warzone Earth, and later went into my library to install it. The installation completed instantaneously, so apparently nothing was actually downloaded, and when I launch the game, it says "Failed to start game (missing executable)." I'll attach my system information and stdout/stderr log.
They're slightly different: #28 is about games like Bastion, which aren't listed as being available for Linux; this bug is about Anomaly: Warzone Earth, which is supposedly available for Linux.
The behavior is exactly the same, though: both Bastion and Anomaly appear under "Linux Games" in the library, and both fail to install properly.
This is different than #28 because it is listed in the Linux tab.
Thanks for the information, it looks like a store configuration. I'll look into it today.
Update: I contacted 11bitstudios. And they're investigating now:

@swordfischer thanks for the info. Also, no offence, "I am on Linux" was a pretty funny response. :P
Alright, it downloads data now, I'll just confirm whether it works or not.
awesome! As soon as I get home I'll try it again
Yeah, currently they're missing the libsteam_api.so file, and I've notified them about this.
@danielmmy They have just fixed this, and it now launched. Remember to close the case if the issue is resolved, ;) (You might have to restart your Steam client before downloading the game.)
Ok, I'll try it out as soon as I get home. If someone else could confirm that it is solved I will close the case.
I'm installing anomaly just fine and I checked the steam for linux community and the install problem is over. I'll close the issue report now. Thanks for everyone that helped solve this issue.
Nothing extracted yet.
After selecting install it proceded normally, but it does not download and when i select play it gives the "missing executable" error. I get the same error with bastion, but bastion is not available in the store yet, but it is visible in my library under linux.
