Battlefield 2 Installation Problem

JonnySizzle · 02-08-2006, 07:21 PM

When I first got this game in December, I installed it right away and had no trouble playing it. Recently, I have reformatted my hardrive and am now trying to reinstall Battlefield 2. For the first few moments the installation goes smoothly, but whenever it gets to:
...\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Objects_server.zip
an error pops up that reads:

___________________________________________
Battlefield 2(TM) - Installshield Wizard
_____________________________________________

Failed to install Battlefield 2, try again from the beginning.

It does this every time I attempt to install Battlefield 2. Any ideas/solutions would be much appreciated.

have you patched it?

JonnySizzle · 02-08-2006, 07:33 PM

Thought I installed the patches after the initial installation. I'll try anyways.

You do have to install the game first. Sounds like your DVD/CD may be having issues being read. Take the media and clean it then try again. If that fails, PM me and we can discuss you downloading a working copy of the DVD from me.

Alright, cleaned it up some more and it looks like it's working fine. Thanks.

@nakedmongoose123:

They are referring to physical dirt, smudges, or scratches on the DVD / CD. Give it a good whipe with some water and a nice smooth rag, or tissue and try again. If it keep failing your disc may be damaged.

The inside of a white sock should do fine.

Can someone familiar with Vista installation problems please contact HAZMAT and help him work through his installation problems. I have Vista and no problems so I haven't been able to help.
