Arma will not open from my shortcuts and I can't load my workshop stuff and mods as i can't open the launcher in any way. All I keep getting is:
Unexpected error occured: Add value to the collection of type
'System.windows.input.Inputbindingcollection' threw and exception
Details are stored in a text file on your desktop.
I have verified the game cache multiple times as well as reinstalled the game twice on two different drives.
Attempt to open arma 3 from a desktop shortcut or steam, or attempt to open the launcher in any way.
After each failed startup i recieve a text document containing this.
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Add value to collection of type 'System.Windows.Input.InputBindingCollection' threw an exception. ---> System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.ServiceModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

Hello.
BadImageFormatException means that the file most likely exists, but it's corrupted.
The file name = assembly name + '.dll' (System.ServiceModel.dll in this case)
Re-install .NET Framework 4 with the latest available version (currently 4.7 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55167)
