Have you got the latest beta patch?

See if installing this one fixes the problem: http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=10988

Don't use Steam to launch it use DayzCommander and DayzCommander only also check if your paths are correctly setup in the settings menu under "GAME DIRECTORIES".

I'm not 100% sure if you can launch with DayZ Commander using ARMA 2: Free. Have you tried using DZC to install DayZ mod and then launching Operation Arrowhead through Steam using the launch option -mod=@DayZ ?

In Steam...

Right-click Operation Arrowhead Beta

Select Properties

Click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS

Type -mod=@DayZ

Play Operation Arrowhead Beta

-mod=@DayZ is telling OA to launch with DayZ mod enabled. :)

Have you applied the beta patch I posted earlier?

Also when launching it through DayzCommander at the main menu of the game does it has the DayZ logo on the top right?

mZLY may be right DayZcommander doesn't work with the free version I wouldn't know.

you have to launch Arma 2 and Op Arrowhead atleast once before launching DayZ, Then it will work just fine.

Serova is right, you have to run ARMA 2 and OA right up to the main menu once each before you can install DayZ mod.

If you've already done that and what I suggested didn't work then follow this guide and see if it helps...

What does the error say?

Do these steps:

- Start ArmA 2 Free and close it.

- Start ArmA OA and close it.

- Download this patch and install it -> http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=10988

- Go into Dayz Commander and install DayZ -> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73376673/DayzInstallInstruc.png

- Find a server and join it. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T JOIN A WHITELISTED ONE AS THAT WILL KICK YOU

Just to add, this error -> http://i.imgur.com/ZRvvcOw.png means you put the wrong paths in the directory boxes or you haven't installed DayZ just follow the steps in my previous posts and be sure your paths are right. Good luck let us know if it's fixed or not!
