In DayZ Commander on the right of your screen make sure EVERYTHING is up to date.  Find where it says Arma 2 and update it.  Check through that menu on the right and if it there's an option to update then do so.

Make sure you RUN both Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead and get to their main menus BEFORE updating Arma through commander.

Uninstall Commander -> Restart computer -> Run both A2 and A2OA to main Menu -> Reinstall Commander -> Update Commander/Arma2/DayZ

 

If that doesn't work, try a clean re-install of both A2 and A2OA and DO NOT open either until BOTH are FINISHED installing.

Don't worry.  it's looking for the beta patch.  If it sat at 0% for a long time try this link...

I usually go for the one in green.  When you run it, it might claim you have the wrong key but don't panic.  Just click okay and it'll install.  It may appear to be running a long time as there's no confirmation popup for completion.
