Can't install

[Polypythates]

When I go to install the patch, it tells me I need to have 0.86 installed. I have been playing on it so I have it, but I patched up from 0.85. How do I over come this?

[AncientMan]

You either do not have 0.86 installed, or you are installing to the wrong spot despite the installer saying exactly where to install it .

I have the same problem with vista, i know i have 0.86, and the 1.5 patch.

(downloaded torrent)

[AncientMan]

Obviously modify the path to where you have installed it to...

[AncientMan]

What file do you have /mods/pr/readme/version/

[Tomato-Rifle]

It says its empty. (The version folder)

[AncientMan]

The folder shouldn't be empty, something has screwed up your side. I'd strongly recommend reinstalling PR, however, you can just make a file called patch.086 in that version folder (right click, new text document, rename the file to that, don't forget to change the extension from .txt to .086).

[Polypythates]

The path is all correct, is this just a bug because of the fact we patched up from 0.85 or something else?

[Polypythates]

Also, that text document thingy didn't work

[SnipingCoward]

i had .85 full installer, then patched to .86 and now patched to .87 (after patching BF2 to 1.5) and it worked like a charm (OS: XP 64)

so i tend to say something on your end screwed up

[AdrwIvrsn]

I have the same problem too. The text file idea didn't work, and somehow something got corrupted, preventing me from reinstalling, so I have to do the hard and painful way of redownloading the core. This also occurred to me when I tried to patch 0.85 to 0.86.

But to avoid this in the future, what is possibly being, quote, "screwed up" on my side? I haven't changed anything to Battlefield 2's directory, let alone the pr folder in mods.

maybe the installer is corrupted - you should use a download manager (or torrent client) and resumable download locations for large files
