INSTALLATION UPDATE:

I was doing some more testing and it appears you can put ALL of the DayZ 1.7.3. files INSIDE the DayZNamalsk folder, for those of you who don't want to run DayZ 1.7.3 and DayZNamalsk as separate mods at the same time.

Here is how to consolidate this install:

1) Make a test folder in your main ArmA 2 folder.

@DayZNamalskSP

2) Create a subfolder called "addons":

@DayZNamalskSP\addons\

3) Copy all of your DayZ 1.7.3 files into the addons subfolder:

@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz_anim.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz_code.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz_equip.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz_sfx.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz_vehicles.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\dayz_weapons.pbo

4) Copy all of your DayZNamalsk files into the addons subfolder:

@DayZNamalskSP\addons\namalsk.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\ns.pbo
@DayZNamalskSP\addons\ns_anims.pbo
ETC,
ETC,
ETC..

5) Now, just make a NEW desktop shortcut that points to the new Mod:

X:\Root Directory\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe -mod=@DayZNamalskSP -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=1 -nosplash -skipintro -world=empty

That's it.

Go into DayZ 1.7.3, Single Player and continue, or restart your DaiyZ Namalsk map.

The nice thing about Rocket enabling the SP option in the main menu is this allows 1.7.3 to be used on other DayZ custom maps who have the entire DayZ codebase (a.k.a. files) as part of the mod. There are still edits that have to be done to the map to get things to work like they do in MP, but overall, this should help make installations easier since all you will have to do is download one big file (the custom mod/map), select SP from the main menu and you'll be Zed Hunting in no time.

Not all custom DayZ maps accept this method, but for the ones that do this is a nice addition from the official DayZ team, IMO. It shows Rocket is living up to the promise he made that once the game leaves ArmA 2 for the stand alone, it will then be the Community's Game and this includes both MP and SP players.
