Hello,
I downloaded the 1.6.3.0 version, installed it, and it wouldn't run, because the "binkw32.dll" was missing. At least at first I tried to run "PRBF2.exe", and it threw an error.
Later ofc I found out that I have to use the launcher, but I guess it may be a problem for some people.
Copying the dll from my own BF2 installation to the PRBF2 main directory (where PRBF2.exe was) solved the problem.
I guess you should include this dll in the download to avoid problems.
For others having this problem, the checksum of my dll is
MD5: e58a20c9e7b342d5ca1f5ba75f1d1108
SHA1: 9ab7dc066110122de73ade73fbde67545f8a0cd2
AFAIK 1.6.4.0 still has the problem.

Re: binkw32.dll missing
It was fixed in 1.6.3.1. The only thing you need to do to fix it is updating the game.

Re: binkw32.dll missing
The file was accidentally missing in 1.6.3.0. You're on an ancient version.
Your checksum doesn't match. Likely because we re-signed them, i don't think we changed it.
