 Never launch arma3 tools from Arma3Tools.exe launcher, always use short cut to desktop or from batch file. You need to run one of the tools to activate registry entries, for example start Addon Builder once. Never launch arma3 tools from Arma3Tools.exe launcher, always use short cut to desktop or from batch file.

-Next you need to replace the mapdisk.bat file which can be found on the root directory of the ArmA 3 tools, with your own. This is because the original mapdisk.bat supplied by the tools is not working properly. 
  
-Use this for "​mapdisk.bat"​ replacement:​ +====== Notes ======
-<code dos> +
-subst p: /d +
-subst p: "​c:​\arma3work"​ +
-</​code>​ +
-Replace "​c:​\arma3work"​ directory to where you want to keep your work drive. You obviously have to create this directory. Next just double click mapdisk.bat to activate the new P: drive.+
  
-Run ArmA3P.cmd and wait... ArmA3P should ​run all the way with No errorsand report success. This will take really long time, be patient and wait.+Never ever run Steam client ​-> ArmA 3 Tools -> Prepare virtual P: Driveit will delete all your files in the P: drive if it already existsthis is very dangerous command, please ​be careful not to ever run it.
