My guess is that an InstallShield component got messed.
I uninstalled the BF2 demo after installing the retail BF2 (just to tidy up my hdd). Doing that messed up my retail copy. I couldn't uninstall or reinstall.
It turns out a key element of windows InstallShield got screwed with.

DICE is to blame for this.

After an exhaustive search thru many forums and other remedies, nothing worked to fix it. I ended up having to re-format, so did some other ppl.
