When installing the installer gives you a choice to chose "custom" or similar to it.
E.g. I have my Battlefield installed on drive E:, so when I install I just replace the "C" in the path, with an E. And then BF2 is installed in "E:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2"
instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2

My installer doesent give such option. I have only "complete" and "custom", and on custom i can only choose if i want to install booster packs. I have looked and looked but i cant find out how to´install it on my D: drive

That is so strange.

Are you the administrator for that account? (I just have to ask. No offence). That might be the issue.
I've installed BF2 a zillion times, and always on another partition or HDD, and I've always been able to to use "custom".
Can you drop a print screen of how it looks when you install it.
