As it sais in the instructions...
You will want to get patch 1.41 (that is a full patch for upgrading any lower version) and additionally you need patch 1.5 (incremental patch, requires 1.41) .
(Meaning you shouldn't have had to install 1.4 in the first place)

I got ya, sorry but I don't know the answer.
Do you have a disk that included Special Forces?
Here is the process for installing BF2 AND SF (a.k.a.-BF2 CompleteCollection/a.k.a.-BF2 DeluxeEdition/a.k.a.-BF2 w/expansion+booster pack):
Install BF2
Install 1.41 (Yes, i know... Do it anyway!)
Install SF
Install 1.41 again
Install 1.5 (AF & EF are now included in this 1.5 patch for free and will be installed at this point by simply running this patch. They do not require registration, serials or activation anymore. Do NOT use the discs that came in the BF2 CC box to install AF & EF. No one has told those discs that registration, serials or activation for AF & EF is no longer required OR supported! Trust me on this one.)
Update PunkBuster
