cant launch the game data file too short error

[2provief 3]

so decided to try 1.0 reinstaled the game and got an error message at launch the game wont even start :data file too short 'addons\anims.pbo'. Expected 1958625370 B, got 4247646 B

tryed to remove anims.pbo and put it back in the error message just swaped to another pbo file 

tryed to reinstall twice still nothing changed (deleted dayz folder from the steamapps on second try)

anyone got any idea of what could cause that and how to fix it ?

I don't even have that file in my Addons folder -- I have an animals.pbo and I have some other pbo files that begin with anims_{something}.pbo but no anims.pbo itself.

I suggest you delete the entire Addons folder, then right-click on DayZ in Steam, select Properties and choose to verify your local game files.  This should replace the Addons folder with a fresh one.
