Hello. my first post on this forum.
I have a problem with the insallation of pr v0.87
I played 0.86 but I formated my computer about one day before the new patch came out.
now, when I was going to install 0.87 I installed core and levels, but when I was going to install patch I got an error message.
I read in 0.87 installation guide, but I didn't quite understad what to do.
the message I got said that I had to install 0.86, but now I can't find 0.86 anywhere..
I would be happy if you could give me some help.
here is a link to a screenshot of the error message:

hmmm do you have netframework 3.5 ??
try to install pr like this BF2 + 1.41 + PR 0.86 core + 0.86 levels + 1.5 + patch 0.87
it worked like a charm for me

Err, you only need to install v0.87 Core + Levels. The patch is only if you have v0.86 already installed, which from what you said, you no longer had.
Or are you saying you had installed v0.86 Core + Levels, then tried to install the v0.87 Patch?
In general:
Patch if you have the previous version installed
Core + Levels if you do not have the previous version installed.

well you need to install 0.87 patch aswell mate, then it will work.
to make pr work you need
1. BF2 1.41 + 1.5 Patch Installed.
2. PR 0.87 Core
3. PR 0.87 Levels
4. PR 0.87 Patch
and then update Punkbuster etc..

I removed everything and installed it once more in this order
bf2, 1.41. 1.5 0.87 core, 0.87 levels. 0.87 patch (which acually worked now) and I am pretty sure I have netframework 3.5..
but now when I click the pr icon it doesent work "pr.exe has stopped working" I have also tried to run as admin"
I feel helpless lol

@T_Moad
Do you have SP2 on your Vista? Or SP3 and updates on XP?
