    I posted some suggestions to your question here:

    http://www.tacticalgamer.com/pr-bf2-technical-support-faqs/55178-bf2-failed-install.html



    -- Suits are what you wear when doing things you shouldn’t want to do anyway.

    FROM THE TACTICAL GAMER PRIMER.
    3) Support game play in a near-simulation environment. Where the focus of play would not be solely on doing what it takes to win, but doing so utilizing real-world combat strategy and tactics rather than leveraging exploits provided to players by the design of the game engine.

    make sure you close EVERYTHING in the background down. Anti virus, spy detection programs and anything that runs as a user process, except Explorer.exe.

    Sounds like your files aren't installing properly because they are being blocked. Reinstall after you have all unnecessary programs closed.

    Re: d3dx9_25.dll not found

    I had the same problem The games technical support is sh$t and doesn't even come close to helping the user to get the game running.

    I did the following:

    I navigated to the /directx folder on the DVD
    I opened the file: Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab (since I have an x86 system and not a 64 bit)
    I copied the compressed file called d3dx9_25.dll to the /games/Battlefield 2/ folder.
    I opened the file Feb2005_d3dx9_24_x86.cab (sincd I still have an x86 system)
    I copied the compressed file called d3dx9_24.dll to the /games/Battlefield 2/ folder.
    I can now run the game. I wasn't able to before due to an erroe i was getting about "cannot find the file d3dx9_25.dll. Now it is all fixed.

    Hope this helps someone. I was unable to play this game due to this.

    Re: d3dx9_25.dll not found

    This is probably a stupid question, but how do I find out whether I have a x64 or x86 system? I'm running Athlon XP 2500. I'm guessing x86?

    Um, i figured since most of us are on x86 systems that THAT is the set to use. The x64 set is probably for the 64bit Windows (I am asuming).

    All I know is that i downloaded the Demo from like 5 separate place and got that same error every time! I couldn't believe it! I know have the game. I installed that. Guess what? I recieved the same error. After copying the missing files in the installation folder, the game ran.

    I think that the game requires you to have DirectX 9.0c installed. If you have 9.0b you will get errors.

    Re: d3dx9_25.dll not found

    if you're on winxp, there is NO WAY you can upgrade to directx 9.0c UNLESS you do so via the service pack 2 upgrade. if you ARE on sp2, then i'm afraid you have the sp2 beta release. only a reinstall i'm afraid will solve this.

    Guys, let me tell you that because of internal problems with windows sp2 or latest, no matter how many times you update direct x 9.0b to direct x 9.0c it will not work.

    Here is a very useful info, where you can fix your problem: gamecrashes.com/4-29-30.htm
