ERROR with 1.02 patch

[CanisDEK]

Verifying ArmA: Armed Assault, version 1.00...
File AddOns\sara.pbo is missing.
One or more files in game instalation are modified or dammaged.


and I checked... it is not missing at all.

I am running Win XP-64 and I have a feeling the other people who has this problem run that OS as well.

Moving to troubleshooting.

Some people are finding that booting into safe mode and then installing the patch works.

Heres another FIX (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=68;t=56087), this one seems to work well. I have a friend that had to do this on his 64 bit windows install and it worked.

YES! That works... thanks a lot!

Installing from safe moce on x64 solved the problem for me.

This is what we got on our forum and it solved iti for loads of people:


Quote[/b] ]Temp fix 1:
Rightclick the file, then Run as... select the administrator account in the bottom and type in the correct password. Then hit Enter

Temp fix 2:
If you have a software life Virtual PC or VM Ware or a second PC with a 32 bit OS installed...Install Arma on it, patch it, put the whole Arma folder on an external storage device or a DVD or whatever an copy it over the original Arma folder on your 64-bit OS PC.

Crashing in MP remains a issue though....
