Re: Setup taking ages!?
No need to make up a second thread 
Moderators can you merge them please?
Did you install BF2, patched to 1.41 and then to 1.50final? Did you do a reboot after doing so?
Did you install it at default path? c:\programm files (x86) ...
If so did a licence agreement appear after starting core installation?

It is important to only start the installer ONCE. The files are compressed and as you know the archive is over a gig! It took me (AMD 4800x2+ 2 gigs ram) a little over 10 min. to see the install window open for Core and a little over 5 for levels. If you are taking longer than that try rebooting and just open the installer after you reboot and the system is fully loaded.(+4 mim?)
If it still doesn't work try a new download.
Your org. maybe corrupted.
Good luck

Install InstallShield 10.5: http://support.installshield.com/kb/fil ... te1050.exe
Install InstallShield 11: http://support.installshield.com/kb/fil ... te1100.exe
(From Q108322: Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines.)
Update the Windows Installer...Download details: Windows Installer 4.5
If it still won't work, go run disk cleanup and check "Temporary Files."
Also, you might try running the patch from a command prompt. That might generate some kind of meaningful error.
