I'm using Windows XP x64 and I tried to apply 1.02 patch over SP-Rocket version, German version and CD Czech. There is always an error. Depending on version (German/Czech). **Example: Applying Czech patch over sprocket version gave an error of missing file sara.pbo, applying German patch over sprocket version found error in ca.pbo** I tried mixing missing (sara.pbo/ca.pbo) files with exactly same but from different version of the game. **Example: I replaced original Sprocket files (sara.pbo/ca.pbo) with exactly same ones from German version.** No luck. There is always different error. I spent 12 hours trying different methods to apply 1.02 patch and I believe the problem is in the patch. It might not be compatible with Windows XP x64. Here is what I did to get game working I installed game on another computer (which runs standard Windows XP 32) and applied 1.02 patch. No problems, no errors   Then copied game folder C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA to external HD and pasted it over my Arma on Win XP x64 computer. Guess what? It works !   The only thing is right now my Arma crashes during online play (probably dual core processor problem).

Thanks for sharing your experience with x64 Mike. Before official fix comes out its better deal with it our own way For those who only have 1 PC. One more theory remains unclear. Making bootable win 32bit CD. (If you use SATA/RAID don't forget to attach necessary drivers to it, otherwise you won't see your C:\ drive). Boot from win 32bit CD and try to install 1.02 patch.

Hi guys! I am also using win XP x64 and the only way I found to resolve this problem is to install patch on 32-bit system and then copy Arma directory to your PC with XP x64. Â Just overwrite exesting Arma folder with new one. It worked for me and I hope it will work for you. Good luck Â

It's hard to tell why you get that error.. I think all XP x64 users have problems installing this patch. I installed it on my 32 bit Windows without any problems.
