Nightmare installing Operation Arrowhead 1.54 Patch

[Stimpy101 10]

Hi

I used to have both arma 2 and operation arrowhead installed and working fine. However i reformatted recently and i've just got round to installing my games. I've decided not to bother installing Arma 2 and instead just install Operartion Arrowhead (sprocket version).

The install of OA (1.52) went fine but when i try and update it using the 1.54 patch found here http://www.arma2.com/index.php?Itemid=20&option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder〈=en i keep getting an error message saying

"Error found in file ALL\ARMA2OA.EXE"

I've no idea what caused it.

One thing which is slightly different to when i had both Arma 2 and OA installed was that i had them installed to program files\bohemia whereas when i install just OA it installs it to program files (x86)\bohemia

I have no idea if this is relevant to my problem but thought id mention it anyway.

Im running windows 7 64 bit btw

Any help would be appreciated !

I cant help directly although Id say unintall and tell it where you want it installed (point to it), maybe reg mismatch?

Also I am forced to ask this :

For the love of god, why?

will give that a try

as for only installing OA...

im only installing it for the forthcoming project reality mod, thats the only time i will ever play arma.

That's a total shame.

At least give the game a try, you'll find it to be very rewarding :)

i've played both previously but playing against ai just doesn't appeal to me and im also not a fan of the current pvp found in armas multiplayer.... but i know the PR team will make something proper which encourages teamwork hence why im reinstalling it.

PR will require Combined Operations. So you're going to have to install ArmA2 to play PR.
