Newbie seeking install "help"

[lAMCl 0]

Alright...So I just bought CO yesterday, installed, installed the mod by hand n' I would always get a message saying my patch is 1.6 n' the server is 1.7. So I've uninstalled completely n' am re-installing and I just need some clarification...

If I use http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2705489 (An easy installer) to install the mod, since it's not 1.7 will I not be able to update it anyway? If so, how do I update it to 1.7?

Or should I just install 1.7 manually via the mirrors, unzipping into Addons, and editing the steam launch options?

Thanks in advance, really looking forward to playing soon. :)

Is there a video tutorial on how to use it or written guides? Or is it pretty self explanatory?

download the .rar files from a mirror and extract them to the @dayz\Addons folder

I echo the above guide. Only thing I had to do differently to get things to work for me was, after the above (I use the Steam version), I copied the BattlEye folder from the ArmaII folder to the Operation Arrowhead folder.

As an aside, I've tried SixUpdater, and it is one of the most intimidating and non-intuitive pieces of software I've used. LOL I'd suggest going the easier way as suggested by Criminal.
