Ok folks...it's long and messy but at least it works !
1. On a computer with XP, download EF.
2. Once done, hit the 'Install Now' button in EF. This will decrypt the downloaded files.
3. Once you see the 'Choose install language' screen don't continue with the install.
4. If you go to \\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Downloader\cache\*EA LOGIN*\eagamesbf2-2006online_map_contentbf2euro\
you'll find the setup files for EF. Copy these to a CD/DVD/USB key (352mb].
5. Copy the files to your W2K machine and install EF
6. Browse to this web address
Click on the link that says 'Edit GameSpy Nickname', log in with your EA.COM account that you used to buy EF and change the BF2 login to whatever you like.
7. Play EF
NOTE :
a) You need access to a PC with XP so you can download and install the EA Downloader.
b) This PC with XP doesn't need to have BF2 installed.
c) You don't need the E-AD to change the login associated with EF as all it does is open up a webapage. The Downloader is just a 'front' for IE6.
d) I hope I haven't forgotten anything but if it doesn't work then just reply !
