Bad serial number given in setup, but all the fixes I have found for this dont work for me because i have non-steam ArmA 2 Combined Operations

[Bambihunter123 0]

I have played Dayz for 2 days but when i got off Dayz for about half an hour I tried to start ArmA2 back up but then I got the error saying "Bad serial key given in startup." and I have tried using many fixes online but none of them work because I have a Non-Steam version of ArmA2.

Any help from ANYBODY would be very much appreciated. I really wanna play more DayZ.

THX for any help i get

Tried everything in post, even tried reinstalling (TWICE) and nothing worked.

If i cannot find a fix to this in 2 days or less Im going to just buy the arma 2 OA on Steam cause its only $19.99 and on sale for $9.99 at the moment.

THX for the suggestions though.

Just figured out the problem, My permissions were all on deny and i kept deleting the Bohemia interactive folder instead of the Bohemia Interactive Studio folder

Thanks for all the help!

Hope to see you in DayZ!
