Can Not Install BF2 Special Forces

Hello,



I have run into an issue with installing BF2 Special Forces. During the
install does a check for the amount of space available and reports that I do
not have enough space. However, my D drive has 100GB free while my C drive
only has 2GB free.



I can not get to the part of the installation which would allow me to state
which drive to install the game on.



Is there a way to "fake" the amount of space that is remaining on the drive?
I believe if there is a way I could simply fool the game to get by the
checking part.

Hi TMan,

Doesn't the installer offer you the option to choose between
a typical or a custom installation before it checks for disk space?

It does but I do not even get to that point... I get a pop up saying I do
not have anough space and then exits.

Try copying the disk(s) onto your D drive and then install the game from
there.
