Just another tip, sometimes peoples Arma version doesn't get updated, don't know if it's a DayZ Commander issue or not, but to fix that all you have to do is go to:

- DayZ Commander

- Settings

 

and check the little box that says Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta so steam works, which should update the game versions to the newest. :)

DayZ Commander is one of the worst available programs. Ever.

 

If you reaaaally really hate manual installation, I'd suggest playWithSix. Just open it, select ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead Beta (under the "games" tab), click the "Mods" tab (it's big and on the left side; hard to miss). Scroll through the mod list and find DayZ. After it's done downloading that, launch the game.

 

 

 

The BEST way to do it

 

Download DayZ

Put the @DayZ mod file in your ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead Directory

Go into Steam and set your Operation Arrowhead Beta's launch parameters to include -mod=@DayZ

Create a shortcut (it looks like a folder with a blue arrow at the bottom) in your ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead directory named addons that links to your Arma 2 directory

Launch game, have fun.

And why is DayZCommander so bad?

It's clunky, slow, poorly documented, not as intuitive as other programs, crashes too much.
