I'm trying to install the DoTA 2 reborn beta by flashdrive from another computer with the beta installed. I copied the "steamapps/common/dota 2 beta" folder, but the DLC did not get detected. How can I have steam detect the DLC?

Have you checked the DLC for Steam to download? Once it begins downloading, stop it and verify integrity, if it didn't do it automatically. – Elise Jul 02 '15 at 14:24

Related questions here and here. Those are about moving games but dlc and games are similar for Steam. – Jonathan Drapeau Jul 02 '15 at 14:42

In your steam library, right-click on Dota2 and select Backup and ... It will ask the location to save the backup and take sometime to finish the backup process. Then copy that to a harddrive (or USB stick) if the destination PC is a different one. Go to the steam library on that machine, right-click and select .. restore and it will copy the files over for you. This should work for the actual game and the DLC.

You need to copy over its acf file too. For dota 2 it's "appmanifest_570.acf" located in the steamapps folder.
