According to Bohemia Interactive Arma2 Operation Arrowhead is a STANDALONE install. This means that Arma2 DOES NOT,I repeat Does Not need to be installed. ---------- Post added at 05:11 ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 ---------- My sincere apologies for this opening lengthy post but I want to make sure that the steps I have taken are understood so not to repeat them. I have as many others seem to be having a problem with not just the CD/DVD install but also the Digital Download installs. I have DL from direct2Drive, so I have no CD available to me but I am getting this error message, (Copied & pasted) the following error message: SecuROMâ„¢ has determined a disc different than the original or play-disc was detected. This could be caused by a backup copy, or in the case of a multiple disc set, the wrong disc was inserted before starting the program. Please follow these steps to help resolve the issue: * Please ensure the correct disc is inserted. * If the problem persists, or you need additional assistance, please send a SecuROMâ„¢ analysis file to [email protected] (see Support Info section on how to prepare and send an analysis file). This is when I click on support- what I get... SecuROMâ„¢ Support Information: If your software title launch problem cannot be solved with the hints given on the corresponding message section, please send a detailed error description and a SecuROMâ„¢ analysis file to [email protected]. Please consult the following steps to generate this analysis file. We developed this easy-to-use and effective error analysis tool to retrieve information necessary to locate the problem. The information contained in the analysis file is compressed and encrypted. 1. Make sure the original disc (play or launch disc) is in a local CD or DVD-ROM drive. (Don't have one-made one so I burned one & when that didn't work mounted one to virtual drive) 2. Please reboot your computer and do not start any additional applications. 3. 'Right-click' (click the right button of your mouse) on the desktop shortcut (icon) of the program/game or the actual SecuROM protected executable which can be found in the installation directory of the program/game.(Done) 4. A dialog menu will appear. Choose 'Launch Analysis' from the menu choices. 5. After selecting 'Launch Analysis', a disclaimer window will appear. 6. To proceed, please click onto the 'Yes' button. 7. The program will now generate an 'AnalysisLog.sr0' file within the root of your C:\ directory. 8. Please 'zip' (archive) this file (to avoid email corruption) and send it to our official email address [email protected] together with a description of your problem (e.g. screen shots, further details). Steps taken: Both Direct2Drive & Securom have been notified & I have been speaking with Direct2Drive for the past 5 days. Still waiting on Securom to contact me. Sent Analysis file to Securom Uninstalled Arma2 & Operation Arrowhead. Cleaned out registry of anything that may have dealt with this. Re-downloaded & Installed Arma2 Operation Arrow from Direct2Drive-Independent drive Installation went as planned Launch program and what would you know.... Bingo Same error message. I may have missed it but I didn't see anything that was specific to my problem with a Digital download & cd needed error. Anyone have a suggestion on how I may resolve this issue, the reason being is because I have been relying on Direct2Drive to give me the answer but at the same time I realized it not their issue. I am still waiting on a response from Securom for a possible fix to this issue. (5 days and counting with 4 separate emails sent to them) Much thanks for your time & effort in resolving my issue.
