Patch 1.5 installer for BF2 won't start...

[Dragonfire43560]

I click it and it asks me for permission to open the file, I hit ok and it gives me the hourglass cursor for a second but it never actually runs. Ive kept the computer on for over an hour to see it it comes up but no joy. I also downloaded 2 different versions of the file, from different mirrors and both have the same problem. Tried restarting and everything.

64 or 32 bit? Is it fully updated?

32 bit. I don't see why this is having a problem honestly; I mean its just an installer. All my other installers work fine, what makes this one so special?

Something to note though, previous battlefield 2 patches took a long time to start up. Like probably 10-15 minutes. Kinda weird.

Yeah that's common, it happens to me with BF2 1.41...although it was more like one minute, not 10. Well, the only thing I can think of is to update Installshield. You can download it here for 10.5: http://support.installshield.com/kb/fil ... te1050.exe

You might also try updating it too 11 as well: http://support.installshield.com/kb/fil ... te1100.exe

(From Q108322: Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines.)

Wouldn't hurt to update the Windows Installer...http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/deta ... laylang=en

If it still won't work, go run disk cleanup and check "Temporary Files."

Try running the patch from a command prompt, that might generate some kind of meaningful error.

Where did you download it from? I'm running into the same problem. I've downloaded it, it asks me to confirm I want to let in run, I run it as admin, but the installer never actually starts. Running Vista 32bit.
