You have to check the help on running mods with the downloaded version of BF2.
There you will read that you have to replace the BF2.exe with a version from the DVD BF2.exe.
Or do this:

First I created a couple of folders that was missing because of the EASTORE downloadable version of BF2 Complete Edition.

Folders named "cache", "cache-fh2" & "mods" should be created under documents/battlefield 2/

Under documents/battlefield 2/mods/
create a shortcut named bf2 and point it at your eagames/battlefield 2/mods/bf2 directory
create a shortcut named fh2 and point it at your eagames/battlefield 2/mods/fh2 directory

add +restart at the end of the command line to the fh2 shortcut on your desktop

I dont know if the following is necessary but for me running Vista maybe it could be a potential problem.
Make sure all directories, shortcuts and files is being runned as an administrator for your user - if not apply administrator rights to your user for the following directories.
eagames/battlefield 2/
documents/battlefield 2/

Well at least it worked for me...

Then you are also running Win7 which takes us to the Win Vista/7 help.
Make sure that you run the FH2.exe in WinXP compatibility mode and with admin rights (rigth-click on the link, then under properties).

FH2 and Windows Vista or Windows 7?
FH2 should be able to run on Windows Vista or Windows 7, though you should run FH2 on an account with Administrator permissions on your computer. To run FH2 as an administrator, right click the program, then run as administor. You can also setup this in the shortcut with advanced option in properties.

The FH2 Toolbox (which ships with FH2) has not been designed for Vista or Windows 7, it should still be able to run though when you use an account with administrator acces.

Also try to run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode, which should make the game more stable.

You should have more then 2GB RAM memory to run FH2 smoothly, as Vista and Windows 7 alone need that much to run smoothly.

If that doesn't help you completely, ask around on the new forums and we can get you more help. These forums are no longer offically supported, though many people still frequent them. You will get more help on the new forums.
