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.
