DayZ Launcher Not Downloading

[GenocidalGerbil]

I tried getting back into Arma 2 DayZ and I keep reading that DayZ Launcher is the best way to do that. I keep going to the site and trying to download the file but the same thing happens every time I do: It says "The Drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another."
The problem is it never gave me a chance to select a download path. The prompts just led to that, without any options being offered.
Please help! I've felt nostalgic about this mod for years now. :/

Hey, thanks for taking the time to help!
I actually figured out that it was trying to launch from old files and not working. I just needed to delete everything having to do with the launcher from years ago and then re-download the launcher again. Now everything works like a charm! :)

This is just the original DayZ mod for Arma 2. That's where DayZ came from. The standalone uses an Arma-based engine but is its own game. It is not the same. Personally, I prefer the original over the stand alone.
