-uninstall.
-if win 7 32/64 or xp 64
--Reinstall using the drop down with a shift right click on the install file then choose user Administrator or an admin account (even if your account is an admin).
--Download the updates (the last time i installed, i had to install them in succession, 1.41 then 1.5)
-if xp 32
--reinstall with an admin account
--download and install the updates 1.41 then 1.5

Found this on a BF2 site after my lil writeup:
The latest patch for Battlefield 2 is 1.5. To update to patch 1.5, you will need to have version 1.41 installed. If you do not have patch 1.41 installed, you can download it at the link below:

The Battlefield 2 v1.5 (536MB) file is an all encompassing update for all users. You can download patch 1.5 from any of the following locations:



With that said, we had a guy at a small lan event which couldn't install it even while doing everything correctly. I would expect that he had had a virus at some point which f'd up his ability to install correctly...or maybe it was just MS who knows.
 
Sorry mate, go fish. Might try installing it under a completely different (admin) and freshly created id for your computer. (ie create an id called bf2fu, give it administrator rights...then log in to it and try to run it from there...then try to reinstall it if it didn't work).
