Day Z Does Not Work

[DOCTERST34LTH 2]

I bought Arma 2 Combined Ops via Steam in order to play DayZ. I heard that in order for DayZ to work you must run Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead seperately. That is what I did. Arma 2 works, and gives me no errors. Also, in the bottom right corner it says I am running 1.11. Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead (@ version 1.62) also works, but it gives me 2 errors. One of the errors occurs when the game is launching: Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Dubbing_Counterattack'. I click "Ok" and then the game opens. Once the game opens, i encounter the second error which is: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'. Then, I run SixLauncher. On startup, SixLauncher says: New Game Version available (1.60.0.87580), please upgrade. I find this to be very strange, because as I said before, My Arma 2 OA is at version 1.62. So, I just click "No". Now the buttons "Verify" and "Quick Match" are in orange, and the only button that is responsive is "Verify", so I click that. A Loading Bar appears directly under these two buttons. Then there is a "Launch" button where the "Verify" button was and I click that. Then another error message pops up saying: No entry '.profilePathDefault'. I click "ok" and then the game launches. Another error message pops up and says: No entry 'bin\config.bin/RscInGameUI/RscHint/Background.type'. I click continue. Just as a sidenote, it still says version 1.62 in the bottom corner and says @DayZ on the right side of the screen. I click on Multiplayer, and some servers have a red X, a orange circle (password protected), and nothing at all where some have red Xs and orange circles. If I click on the ones with no icon, it kicks me with and error of Bad CD Key.

Some other things that should be noted. SixLauncher is running 1.7.2.3. Also, I haved verified the integrity of Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead game cache via steam.

EDIT: after I verify the game caches, it tells me that "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired"

Also I tried installing the latest beta patch (95310) and I get a Wrong CD Key error, and I never see any updating window. I have a feeling this is a big part of the problem, but what do I know.

I have tried many different things to get this to work, but nothing has worked which is why I need some specific help. Thank you in advance :)

Sorry, are you saying that it's because I haven't read the wiki? I have read the wiki, and I have followed the instructions there to no avail. Other constrctive help still needed. Thank you :)

download sixlauncher to install DayZ and just launch a server off it.

Have you tried just uninstalling everything and reinstalling from scratch?

[DOCTERST34LTH 2]

Fixed the problem. It was super complicated.

It's not really that complicated if you just follow it step by step. Six launcher pretty much does everything for you, including getting you into the game.

[DOCTERST34LTH 2]

Not even close. There was a problem with the target folder and some files were getting corrupted on start up.
