Thread Question:

Every time I run the installer on my computer it starts out fine but once it gets to the fullscreen greenish blue background to install it, it goes to that for half a second and then stops. I've had it installed before but a patch messed up and it no longer worked, so I uninstalled it all and couldn't reinstall. Help?

hey! it must be the installer problem. see somebody had posted the installer error and the fix on bf2 possible fixes section.

BF 2 install don't start.
got installwizard errors with the install.dll and installshutdown
-------------------------------
FIX:

made a new tempfolder and set windows to use the new tempfolder for installing and it all worked great. XP somehow did'nt like the deafult temp folder.
took me two days to figure this out, and no help from the EA support that just told me to read the FAQ.
they offered me a new game if i payed a fee of aditional €10. idiots!

Didn't seem to work :/

Though im formatting this weekend which should fix it unless my CD is damaged which I'm almost 100% sure that its not that. Thanks for trying though :x
