    I can't modify the install path?

    I just installed the SF expansion.. and it looks like I can't change the install folder at all? It installs to the C drive by default, and there is no option to change it during the install... am I overlooking something?

    This is rather retarded.. now my BF2 install is on my Apps drive and the expansion is on my boot drive.. ugh

        Nevermind, I found it in another thread:

        Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\Curr entVersion
        Do not expand the CurrentVersion tab
        Find ProgramFilesDir on the right hand side
        There should be a default directory of C:\Program Files\
        Change that path to the drive with enough disk space.
        Close the registry to save your settings.

        This worked for me perfectly.

        *NOTE* It is recommend that you make a backup of your registry before doing this. After you've done what was needed to be done. Open up your registry again and change the file path of ProgramFilesDir back to the original (C:\Program Files\).

        Now its time for me to play SF.
