you need both parts of the 2.3 .rar files
have winrar or a similar program to unpack the .rar files
unpack them both
install them both, you start with part 1 and then part 2.
considering the size of the files you will need around 4gb free harddisk space to do this.

have bf2 patched to 1.5 before you start anything from the above




Thanks to DH for this copy&paste.

http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm after 40 days you should buy a license but you can choose to ignore that message.
I am sure there are some freeware unrar programs out there.

Go to start menu ->Control panel --> System and security --> system
Look at the type of system you have it should say 32 or 64 bit

How did you download it with, Torrent or a direct download link?

Either way the files you have downloaded should be a Rar file. Click on it with your right mouse and then choose "Open With". In that dialog screen choose winrar or if not available you have to browse to winrar to associate rar files with winrar.

Extract the files, remember the location where you extracted it to.
Go to the location and first the run part 1. It's an executable so it will run itself.

As has been stated in the other thread. Only 4 servers. There are about 200 regular FH2 players out there and that's, as sad as it is to say, good for a BF2 mod. PR is still the king but it too has only a fraction of all the people playing BF2 for stats and bling... :(
