Problems with Windows Server 2008 R2

Recommended Posts

Ive got a home server with server 2008 r2.

I can install Arma 2 from dvd with no problems.

Its when I try to install the Arma 2 OA dvd, it keeps saying ' something has gone wrong'

I cant get it install, what ever I try.

Just wondering if anyone out there, has got around this problem.

Check what Arma 2 has setup in the registry. I installed the sprocket version on a 2008 r2 server and arma 2 does not correctly set the registry location of itself. This would not allow us to install Arrowhead or any patches/DLC. Maybe the DVD has the same bug on 2008 r2. WARNING....seek help if you do not know what you are looking at in the registry as things can go horribly wrong.

What is the correct location in the registry for Arma 2 on Windows Server 2008 R2? I'm having problems installing the latest Beta patch. My install is a copy from my main PC, so no registry files were installed. Can you help by telling me what I need in the registry, and what location for 2008 r2?

Thanks!

A little update,

no matter what I tried in server 2008, I just couldnt get it to work,

so I installed server 2003 and everything works perfect.
