Suggested installation process for Retail Arma2/Arma2:OA/DayZ

[Lithedruid590 2]

I've purchased the retail version Arma2 and OA then downloaded and installed DayZ Commander then they DayZ mods. I've been wrestling with a number of issues like the 0kb/0kb mission msg, Battleye client not responding, and the infamous infinite loading screen. Now just to be clear this is not me complaining as I've been able to deal with the issues at least most of the time and can play about 50% of the time, but I wanted to pose the question is there a suggested installation process for the retail version that works the best?, and if so what are the steps in the process. I also want to make perfectly clear I do know that this is a beta I'm in software development myself and understand there are always growing pains during dev., just wanted to pick the collective brains out there.

Possibly try using SixUpdater, Googling guides for the correct install procedure of DayZ. There's tons of information out there - even many YouTube videos taking you through the process.

I personally suggest SixUpdater if you are unsure in how the game operates, starts up and the use of parameters work etc.
