Just follow my steps found here. It's really simple and it always works for me when putting DayZ on any of my friends computers.

If I am correct are you speaking of this post?

 

Someone is bound to have this issue again, So here in case anyone comes to this thread again since Bender's link in the other thread is broken.

It seems everyone over looks a really simple method, Just join a Non-DayZ standard Arma 2 server. Sit in the lobby for about a minute or two and BE will update itself during that period. Then you should be able to join any DayZ server. You don't need to download anything from the BE site, you don't need to make another admin account on the computer and you don't need to fiddle with the client.dll files in the Arma2/Arma2:OA folders. And you wont need to set anything to administrator, I never did but I guess you can, it really wont make any difference.

I just reinstalled Arma 2: OA after about 5 months on a new machine, I already knew I'd get the BE Initialization error but tried joining a server anyways and sure enough I got the error, so I closed the game out and ran it from my desktop shortcut which is just linked to steam so you could launch from steam too, then went to "Multiplayer" and set it from LAN to Internet, clicked on "Filter" and set "BattleEye Required" to yes then refresh the server list. Found a Non-DayZ standard Arma 2: OA server and sat in it's lobby for about 2 minutes while BE updated itself to 1.231

This should help anyone trying to play DayZ, Also I recommend DayZ Launcher over Six Launcher or DayZ Commander. It's simply better in every way and easy to use, it automatically loads the launch parameters for any server your trying to join & downloads the server mods when you try to join a server you don't have the mod for. I play on Piggd servers that usually requires a slew of files from Github which I never downloaded anyways since I started using DayZ Launcher found here. http://dayzlauncher.com/
