how to get CO running when launching beta?

hi all

well i got sick of the steam thing with the beta, is a pain. so i decided to just run the beta.exe thats in my directory, i made a shortcut and added ACEX ect ect, but what do i add to make it launch arma2 aswell.

IE, combined ops?

thanks :)

The easy way is to use a launcher.

I used to shy away from things like this as I'm wary of adding another layer of complexity into an already complex mix, but the Spirited Machine launcher really is a god send.

It will do all you want and more. Take your time to set it up and it will reward you, the author is a fine chap too. :)
