How to install Arma 2, OA & Reinforcements RETAIL DVDs

[killakaze 10]

Hello i own the retail DVD versions of arma 2, arma 2: operation arrowhead and arma 2: Reinforcements ive had problems trying to combine them all in one directory and becuase im using an 80gb ssd id like to condense the amount of space the installation is using, my latest attempt which has taken acouple hours failed miseraby, the instructions manual and readme files on the disc tell me to follow onscreen prompts which arnt clear on how to combine everything so ive been scouring forums trying to find clear installation instructions with no luck, can someone please point me to comprehensive instructions or give me some clear step by step instructions for how to do this succesfully.

I assumed it would be

1. first install arma 2

2. install operation arrowhead to the same directory as arma 2 in my case c:\program files\bohemia interactive\arma 2 (which updates arma 2 aswell)

3. install reinforcements to the same directory c:\program files\bohemia interactive\arma 2 (couldnt find any info on wether i needed to install reinforcements or just baf and pmc so installed reinforcements)

4. then update using the latest update patch 1.60 to get everything current as of now.

thanks for any details.

hi, step 1 and 2 are correct. but step 3, since u have CO already, just install BAF/PMC only, no need reinforcements. step 4 is also correct. hope that helps.
