[The Question]

I installed that Mercenaries mod the updated version and installed it and I get this message..

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Do you get that when you run vanilla BF2 too or just the mod? You may also want to post this on their forum if you haven't already: http://www.dies-world.com/index.php .

I think that mod screwed up my SF as well!! Because I don't remember that problem until I installed the mod.

Sounds like your BF2.exe may have gotten corrupted somehow. The mod shouldn't be touching that file AFAIK; maybe there's a bug in their installer. You probably need to reinstall (unless you have another BF2 installed somewhere to copy the .exe from).

I just installed the expansion pack not the whole game.

Not sure I understand. Do you mean you did that and it'w working now or you did that before the problem started? Is BF2 completely not working or is it just the mod and/or SF? If your BF2.exe is corrupted you will either need to reinstall BF2 or re-patch with 1.12 to get a fresh copy of that file.
