BF2 fails to install[Vista related,possibly]

[LekyIRL]

So I just got my new PC(Yay!).I went to install BF2 but got an error:


I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium.
Anyone know what's wrong?

I now belive the problem is a scratched/cracked DVD.

Feel free to lock

infact it looks like the modjive download issue - no client.zip file

redownload the pack

If you figure out how to make project reality to work for Vista can you tell me PLZ.
Because my comp will run the game it well pop up the battlefield sign then it well go light black then dark black then again again about 4 times then quit back to the desktop

Yeah.First off you start by downloading the correct files.Then you use the installation guide at the top of this forum to install it correctly.Then,if you've still got problems, you use the search button and the word "Vista".Then,if you've still got problems,you can start your own thread asking for help rather than just tacking your post on to another thread.

All fairly basic stuff really.

@ Leky.

Your installation path looks very weird.Installing to the default location seems to help.

Yours would look better like this

(C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels)

Right click on icon, make sure "run as administrator" and "run in windows xp compatibility mode" are selected. Then update/reinstall PB.
