The error code means it was not uninstalled properly, go to your folders and look for it there also do a search of your reg type the name, then run it. delete what you find then do a install you should find now that it works.

Just to add to what Thedon57 advise you after you have search for your Battlefield 2 and deleted everything that show up , I would check your Program Files in the windows explorer area under most likely where your windows is install in ( C drive ) just expand the c drive and look for Program Files , then expand that and look for Battlefield 2 if its there delete it , Also go to the following C:Windows\Prefetch and delete everything thats in this folder , then delete your recycling bin , then restart your computer and try to download Battlefield 2 again
