The tricky part is that the game is started with commandline:
Drive: PathARMA 2, betaarma2.exe-mod = beta
but in start in path
Drive: PathARMA 2.
INFO:
Installer claims it updating the version 1.04, ignore it updating the beta directory content
Uninstaller claims it removed version 1.03 ignore it as it should remove beta directory content
PROBLEM:
Uninstalling beta may result into removal of ARMA 2 symlink/junction directory link (hopefully not whole directory)
IF anyone experience whole ARMA 2 directory, erase uninstall it please report ASAP thx
FIX/WORKAROUND for the beta failing to install on STEAM build:
use registry editor add registry key into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBohemia Interactive StudioArmA 2
create new String value
name it 'MAIN' (w/o ')
then place into it the same content like is already in key 'path'
(e.g. 'C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsCommonARMA 2' w/o ' again)
that's all and now the installer sees Your STEAM game ..

Please note: Arma2 OA Beta is a public preview release intended for developer testing and community feedback. It may be updated often and we use them to verify that a bug we are tracking has been fixed. We make the beta builds for testing only and also to allow developers in the community to test their content with the upcoming versions before they are released as the official release. We write code and post the results frequently so people like you can join our testing process and report bugs but Arma2 OA Beta might crash on startup or cause any other kind of unpredicted problems so please do not bother downloading Arma2 OA beta builds if you're unwilling to put up with problems or help with the testing of the game and stick with the latest official release instead.
