Okay, I have litteraly tried everything. I bought Arma 2: Combined operations which comes with 2 discs, one for arma, one for OA.... I install it, then near the end of the installation it says "Installing pathc 1.06 and it installs it.... I have followed all instructions and no matter what I do I get some shit about pmc..... This doesn't need reinforcements does it?

So install arma 2 install arma 2 OA let it install 1.06 patch manually download and install 1.6 and 1.62 download and install dayz profit?

It tries to install OA into same directory as arma 2, it should be in a seperate directory correct?

This is EXACTLY what I do. 1. Put in arma 2 disc, and install. It installs to C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 2. Put in OA disc, install it, then it begins to run a patch called 1_06? 3.Install dayz commander, have it update dayz and the games.... then when I run dayz I get all this shit about not having pmc files.

I just reinstalled arma 2 for the 6th time, and tried what you all said. Nothing. This is pissing me off so bad..... It keeps giving me shit about pmc... why?

Okay so, what exactly does dayz need to run? Right now I have Arma 2 and arma 2 OA installed and thats all, excluding patches like 1.6 and the beta patch...
