BAF - Sproket

[stingfish74 0]

i have ARMA2 CO.

i bought BAF from Sproket.

When i DL the file, after i run/extract it i get the following error:

"there was a problem with your installation. please reinstall and try again"

does this mean there was a problem with my ARMA2 CO install and it's asking me to reinstall that?

if anyone has any suggestions, please help!

UPDATE: additional info

WIN7, DL'd this several times using IE8 and FF. Also ran as admin.

Your download may have been corrupt or incomplete. When I downloaded CO/BAF/PMC from sprocket, I didn't use sprocket.exe (did direct download through firefox), sprocket.exe just seemed too flakey. My downloads were all fine.

Run the setup.exe as Administrator

I have the same problem. I have BAF and PMC from Spocket, files aren`t corrupt, i tried it with adminrights, i used the same for the first installation.

For Win XP 32bit this has helped me out, maybe you guys get a hint what to do on win7:

1.DL the DLL: http://www.dll-files.com/msvcp71.zip?0VKeVBUJhV

2. Copy into your C:\WINDOWS\system32

3. Start->Run: regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcp71.dll

Even if you get a failure message like "THIS DLL CANT BE REGISTERED" its still running and your sprocket.exe is working.

on each Sprocket download page is just under the main download this :

Did you receive missing 'msvcp71.dll' message while using the downloader? Then just download these two DLL files: MSVCP71.DLL and msvcr71.dll and place them in the same directory as your sprocket.exe downloader

if You still have problem then please contact Sprocket support

i think there is a trouble with sprocket download, since i dl arma2 on sp rocket i can't update. I have the same message 'corrupted files or arma 2 not installed.

i found, it works here now

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2

key MAIN must contain correct path to ARMA 2

i didn't have the MAIN chaine values with arma2 path. I added and now it works.

try.

Dalia, I can confirm that this works. I am writing my case, Win764 bit.

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2

I CREATED a string key called MAIN and set it to the path of my ARMA2. Not it is patching. I still don't understand why instaling ARMA2:OA doesn't create the combined operations. They are separate installs. Probably ARMA2:OA doesn't see the registry key... I have to test this. By the way I have the SPROCKET Combined Operations downloads.
