Launch as CO, bought from Amazon?

EDIT: I believe I have to install both games into the same directory. Could an admin delete this thread please, as it is no longer needed?

So I've finally managed to correctly install Dayz, and when I try to connect to servers I get the usual missing.chernarus message. I know there are a couple thousand thread on this, but the only solution I've found is to launch Arma 2 combined operations from steam instead of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead.

I, however, have bought combined operations from amazon, and have no combined operations shortcut. All I have is the 2 separate games. I know I have installed everything right, and I've copied the Arma 2 addons folder into the OA folder, but it still says I'm missing .chernarus. Is there anything I can do, or do I seriously have to buy the game only from steam to get it to work?
