If I delete EAdownloader will AF/EF stay

[StevenNevets]

Right now my hard drive is getting pretty full... Special Forces and EAdownloader are too huge files I hardly ever play/use..

If I were to delte the downloader would Armored Fury and Euro Force remain installed on my computer?

Why don't you buy a new hard drive. Load all your games and stuff from the new drive and leave the other one for your windows stuff.

Because I share a computer with my dad, a new hard drive = no..

The answer is NO, if you delete/unistall the EADownloader EF & AF will be uninstalled to. If you don't play SF anymore like myself, get rid of that to make some space. If you don't play EF anymore(like myself),but want to play AF, then uninstall EADownloader, reinstall and redownload AF/install it. That's what I did.

Like to know where you got that idea from. All deleting the EA Downloader will do is to delete the installer/setup files for AF/EF/SF (unless you moved the folders), it will not uninstall them from BF2 once installed.

Also FWIW the EA Downloader does not take up that much space, all of 12.5 mb on my computer. But then again, I burned the folders containing the setup files for AF/EF/SF to cd/dvd, and then deleted them from the Downloader.

As far as removing SF, if you have it installed you have to uninstall it through ADD/Remove Programs. For AF/EF AFAIK the only way to uninstall them is to completely uninstall BF2 (if I'm wrong, someone will correct me), and then re-install BF2.

While I agree that the EAdownloader itself is a small Application, once you start Downloading games it becomes much larger. I've just Downloaded AF, so my Folder is now 389mg. If I uninstall it, AF goes by by too....

well you could always get a prograqm called Norton Ghost and it copies what is on your HD and then you can move that to the other, but you have to keep both in at the same time, its still better than none

just move EF and AF out of the downloader on your c drive and then delete it

But all uninstalling the downloader does is to remove it and any files that were downloaded, it does not uninstall AF once you have installed it as the OP asked,

And like I said previously, you can burn the folder that contains the setup files for AF/EF/SF to cd/dvd and then delete the folders from the Downloader.

Re: If I delete EAdownloader will AF/EF stay

The files that are in the downloader directory are the set-up files, yes they are huge, once you have installed the programs that you downloaded, you can get rid of the set-up files.

The directory where the set-up files are kept are here

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Downloader\cache\YourName\eagamesbf2-2006online_map_contentbf2af

You can delete the files in the cache directory after you have installed them on your system, this will not stop them from working because the needed files were put here

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods
