I've had SF for almost a year now and have played it a lot. I was doing some system maintenance and uninstalled BF2 and SF. BF2 works fine but when I get halfway through the SF installation I get an error message that says "Failed to install. Start from beginning". I've uninstalled, re-installed, defragged, and done everything mildly relevant I could find in the forums. Please help.

You've done the patchwork thing (uninstall all, install BF2, install SF, install patch) I imagine... The problem is actually with the installation?
Are you installing from DVD or Download (can u even get SF as a download?)
Have you tried the EA help FAQ?

I'm actually using the CD installation. But anyway, I think the problem may be with a registry value that I don't know about or some file that I have to delete. EA is my next choice; I just wanted to see if I could get a quicker resolution from here.
It shouldn't (notice I say shouldn't ) be any files you need to delete, I just reinstalled mine & left in all the profile stuff it asks you about & it reinstalled fine. This sounds dumb but are you positive your entering the right serial# ?
I'll have a quick look on the EA website to see if I can find anything while I don't have much to do.

Yeah it's the right serial number. It gets halfway through the download (about to {CKJ2C230OP.....}dnxt.dat; you get the idea) then just gives me an error message. In all the time I've played this is new to me.
Try using the CD on another PC ....it sounds like your CD might be damaged
I had the same problem, I tried everything, nothin worked. I had to restore my win:Djoker3327 wrote:
