Hey there
I have the same issue... I tried the following:
Until step 6, evering works fine. I'm not able to install the 1.60 patch because it seems like i allready have installed ARMA 2 OA (1.62) ...
I did not buy the game via steam, i got it from a website called "gamesload.de"
I have run everything as administrator
I have disabled my antivirus
I have updated my video driver (Nvidia GTX 670)
My OS is Windows 7 x64
...i guess thats all...
i'll happily provide further information if something is missing =)
thanks for your help in advance
*EDIT*
It is possible to start the "Arma2 OA Beta Patch". But after it is started i get two error messages and the menue is all messed up...
