Hey guys,
I'm having issues installing beta patch 72197. It is the 1st beta patch I am installing. My Combined operations is all up to date but I get the error 'Arma2OA is not installed on this system or is corrupt'. The game runs fine though. I have it on a seperate SSD drive and have tried putting the .exe on that drive but still get the message. Any ideas?

Also I have tried this solution and it worked for main OA.152 and it worked but is not with the beta patch. I have the Sprocket version also.

FIX / WORKAROUND for the beta failing to install on STEAM build:

use registry editor add registry key into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2

create new String value
name it "MAIN" (w/o "")

Anyone else having this issue?

The problem could be the "MAIN" in your registry. The "MAIN" is the install path of your ArmA2/OA, make sure the MAIN have a correct install path.

Thx,
My issue is I had renamed exe for crossfire. Anyone know if I can change beta exe for crossfire?
