I pointed it to the Falcon 4.0 directory in my Steamapps and it did the rest. And this broken steam install can be used as a seed for the BMS installer.

Having just gone through this recently I'll offer these suggestions: Once you get set up Krause's videos on YouTube are a good source for learning. He's a bit long winded and I wish his views were a lot shorter but he knows his stuff and does get the point across by the end.
With the BMS installer, download the 4.33 U1 installer, the get U2, patch the installer, and the install the game. It's a somewhat unusual nuance of BMS that you patch the install media and use that to install or update the game. After controller setup I'd also concentrate on learning to control your own squadron and frag your own missions in the dynamic campaign.
If you have been flying the A-10C I don't think the flying itself will be hard to pick up, it's just everything else about the game that will be a bit more difficult. Things that are good to know that you should go youtubing for when you get to flying are 1.) How to find targets from bullseye calls using the FCR and HSD.
(my friend and I figured this out between two nights of flying and the game became instantly more enjoyable). 2.) How to set up the TGP for A-A mode so you can identify targets at greater range if you can't get a declare response from the AWACS. 3.) Speaking of which, learn how to check the ATO to make sure an AWACS is available, else frag one so the above is less necessary. 4.) Setting up the data link so you can see your and other flights in the FCR and HSD.

5.) How to get the laser out of training mode, which is new for 4.33. Really those are the things that have been the most different from the A-10C and other DCS systems. As an aside, and I could be wrong, but from what I can see in the campaign the Korean KF-16's are block 50's versus the American F-16's are 40's, but the American jets have access to HARM targeting pod, jammers, and more weapons, so I'd lean towards using the US squadrons personally. Hope all of this helps.
