I had this problem ages ago, are you using the incremental or full patch?

You shouldn't need to specify it. The patcher should find it itself, based on a registry key that contains the install dir (see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2, there should be InstallDir key, with full path to your bf2.exe).

I've installed on other drives myself, and always patching has worked.

Have you by any chance done any rearrangements to your drives? Reordering, adding new ones etc? That may sometimes cause incorrect drive letters to be assigned, pushing everything off the cliff.

I have done the same, my OS drive is on C, and my BF2 game directory is on E.

The patch definitly should find the folder.

did U reinstall BF2 to? Cause when U wipe C the registry keys disappear.... and then the patch can´t find the registry key to find where U put BF2....If this is the case the reinstall BF2.
