Game Patches (BETA): http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php (for DayZ)
DayZ Mod files: http://uk1.dayz.nu/latest/ (for manual install)
For a clean, error free install of the DayZ mod I suggest doing it manual vs using Six Launcher or something similar. Manual install has had less errors from what I read on the forums.

- Make sure your Arma 2 is updated with the latest stable patch. (Run the game at least once so the ARMA 2 folder is created in your Documents folder)
- Install the latest Beta Patch. Then go to your Arma 2 game directory (EX: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2) and move the new "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut to your desktop. It has the same icon as Arma 2 Combined Ops
- Create a folder called @DayZ inside your My Documents -> Arma 2 folder. EX: C:\Users\Tommy\Documents\ArmA 2
- Create a folder called addons inside of the @Dayz folder you just created.
- Put all the DayZ files you downloaded (unzipped of course - and just the files inside of the DayZ-x.x.x.x folder) inside of the addons folder you just created. (15 files total)
- Now launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch, go to expansions and enable the DayZ mod. Restart game, then exit game.
- To be on the safe side, reboot your PC, then launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch and you should be able to play DayZ online. Just pick a server and go!
