No entry 'expansion\dta\product.bin.profilePathDefault'.

Running Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit, ArmA 2 & OA bought on and installed by Steam.

Steam update went without a hitch, OA will launch once the error message is okayed or dismissed.

I wasn't surprised to see that all settings reverted back to default as it was implied by the error.

Creating a new profile in game spawns a new folder in "*VolumeLetter*:\Users\*UserName*\Documents\" named after the new profile but no .ArmAOAProfile file or mission, Saved or UserSaved subfolders get created when exiting the game.

I'm guessing that the workaround is to rebuild the now empty product.bin.profilePathDefault file so it points to the proper profiles and settings, which would be a triviality if it was a plain text file :mad:

*** Not quite an edit since I wasn't done writing that post anyway ***

I worked around this issue by overwriting the patched AO product.bin.profilePathDefault with the one from vanilla Arma2, from my understanding, it ends up pointing to the wrong path but doesn't seem to mind the older config files.
