A time ago, like 2 or 3 moths i have installed Arma 2 on my laptop and my main Computers, after that i patched both of them with 1.11 and everything was ok, i played for some weeks and i left to play for be able to study harder.
Now i went back to the game and i had an error on the game, i forgot which one i had and i tryed to reinstall Arma 2 downloading the file Arma 2 Free from the site and the patch 1.11 from the official site too.
Everything was ok, i downloaded and installed Arma 2 Free, but when i opened the patch 1.11 it has extracted and then said that "Arma 2 is not installed on your computer or the installation file is damaged".
I looked for any solution on google and the forums and i found that the problem was that the game "main" folder wasn't registered at the register. So i ran regedit as they said and i looked for the Bohemia Interactive folder, but for my surprise there already was a register called "main" and there was nothing new to add.
After try few things for repair that problem i thought that it was my laptop problem and i tryed to download and patch on my main computer, the one that is at the table, but it had the same problem.
I dont know what happened, because at both of my computers Arma 2 Free had been patched right a time ago, but now i cant cause of this error.
Any hint of how can i solve this problem?
PS: Sorry if you cant understand something, i havnt got a very nice english level.
