Go to bf2\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncher.exe
right click
Properties
Compatibility ->set to winXP SP3. Do NOT set as admin. Test.

If that doesn't work, try
Compatibility ->set to win 7. Do NOT set as admin. Test.

Looked in the compatibility and didnt see anything for Win XP. Just Win server 2008, vista, and win 7. Tried all of them and tried it without compatibility selected. None of them worked.

Do you have all the latest version of .NET Frameworks in your OS ??!
Try Repair/Reinstalling all of them !!

I have the latest version and I tried repairing what I could prior to posting this thread. So still no luck :/ Any idea as to why I can only pick a limited amount of options for compatibility on the launcher? Running the game through PRBF2.exe works just fine but of course you need the launcher running.

Are you running as an admin?

No. The user I'm using has admin permissions but I have it set to not run as an admin.

Same error in other program >> 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension'
in his case it turned out to be a conflict with another program that caused the problem !
Are you using GameBooster ??!

No, the error is:

System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Which is an issue with 32bit/64bit. How did you install PR and what is your operating system (32bit or 64bit)?

Im running on 64bit and I installed PR by mounting the ISO using Daemon tools from the torrent. Its installed with BF2 (obviously) in the (x86) program files. And I'm not using any other programs that would cause a problem I think.

I got it to work. Just needed some security updates for .net and it works just fine now.
