Thanks. I found and installed the ´missing´.dll, but now the error messager has come up with a new ´problen´: I need to install the latest version of DirectX (which, obviously, I have installed)... So the mod still won´t run.  ::)

This sounds like a problem with your BF2 installation. Could you give us your system specs and how you installed BF2?

Hm, as far as I can tell BF2 runs fine. I used default install for FH2 (it´s in the Mods folder) and my system specs are

Athlon II 2 x 220 processor 2.80 GHz
3 GB RAM
64 bit.

Is it a win7 64 bit system?
Are you starting FH2 via the fh2 link on your desktop?

Which version of BF2 are you running? Steam/EA Downloader or the DVD Edition?
Have you updated your Graphic-card driver lately? Are you running FH2 and BF2 from your Programs folder on your main disc and haven't deactivated the Win7 UAC?

I have the DVD, updated to latest version. I did update graphics yesterday, but no difference. And I´m using the quickstart button, as suggested. (And I´ve no idea what a Win7 UAC is lol).

UAC (User Account Control) doesn't really do anything useful.

You can turn it off by going into Control Panel>Action Center, options are under Security.

OK. But I don´t see how that relates to my error message...

Win7 is very frigid when it comes to programs trying to move/alter stuff in the "C:/Programs/" Folder.
As FH2 changes some Shaders in the BF2.exe it can happen that Win7 blocks this and then you can get your error.

Either install BF2+FH2 to some other directory than /Programs or try switching off Win7 UAC.

UAC on/off didn´t make a diff. I don´t suppose simply moving BF2 will be enough?
