    Need Help with EA Downloader.

    Hey peeps need alittle help here. Running Win2K Pro, BF2 and Special Forces installed fine, but i need the EA Downloader to get AF that i have already paid for and it only runs on XP. I had XP Pro before but it wasnt a validated copy. So i went back to my old win2K. Anyone know how to get it to work. The EA site says look for a community version which works with 2K. I figure there saying find someone who has modified it to work with 2K.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I found this thread about the EA downloader,

    NOTE: The EA (Electronic Arts) Downloader requires Windows XP. The installer will not work on Windows 2000 due to an OS check but the program itself runs fine. To use Windows 2000 with any of the new Battlefield 2 booster packs, either use XP to download and then copy the cache directory or use a community altered EA downloader installer compatible with Win2K.

    where would you put the cache directory? And would you just use the exe from the copyed folder to launch the downloader?

    i can't believe they didn't write the program to be compatible with anything but XP.

    sorry I can't help you and for my useless post, just thinking out loud =)

        does no matter where u put the cache folder
        once you have all the expanded files
        just run setup
        (this worked for me - ie had to DL on my computer and install on sons computer)
