[Solved] PR:BF2 not installing

Post by Dr. Waffles »

I have been trying install the latest version of PR (0.97) and it isn't working. The installer says I don't have PR v1.5 and I'm sure I do. I have just reinstalled the game from Steam, which gives autoupdates when they are available. I've tried to use the version restore .reg file (x64) and that hasn't changed anything. I've hit a brick wall and am unsure of what to do now. Help would be appreciated.

You must follow correct install procedures,
please check this thread for correct order.

The point most people miss is after you install vBF2 1.5 patch, you MUST start vBF2 and join a server for a few moments , this is done so the final files are created (your profile files) and those profile files are written to the Windows registry. PR installer is looking for those files in registry and not finding it, usually.

Secondly, Steam put out a micro-update in the last week of December 2011 that hosed many BF2 mods' installation files.

Check this thread for a fix for Steam users who get your error message:
