Note: now that D3DX is in a .dll you can no longer distributes apps without the DirectX runtime and expect them to work. Windows XP users who keep their machines up to date should all have DirectX 9.0c installed but not the D3DX .dll so will get errors about missing d3dx9_24.dll or d3dx9_25.dll. In affect Microsoft have released DirectX 9.0d without admitting to it! Unfortunately the end user is not automatically downloading the new dll. The only solution is to distribute the DirectX runtime with your app. however if you are providing your app. as a download this would increase its size considerably. You could of course just include the correct dll. although this is against the SDK agreement (EULA). The word from Microsoft is that they are considering ways of solving this issue.

Try downloading and installing this:
DirectX 9.0c Redistributable for Software Developers - Multilingual, 34.2 MB.

Click Start, then Run. Type dxdiag and press enter.
On the "System" tab, you should see "DirectX Version:"
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904).

This is the folder where you have installed the Battlefield 2. Like "C:\Program Files\Battlefield 2", "C:\Games\Battlefield 2", etc.

Try this:

Set the Cryptographic Services to Automatic, and then try to install the program again.
To set the Cryptographic Services to Automatic, follow these steps:
1. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
2. Double-click Services.
3. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
4. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.

Btw, do you have XP SP2 installed? SP2 does have DirectX 9.0c included.

I had the same problem it took like 4 hours to fix. Uninstall direct x then reinstall windows sp2 and it should work.
