Installing BF2 on drive other than C

Hey guys,

Trying to install Battlefield 2 (complete collection) on my E drive, as C drive is just for Windows 7 OS living on SSD.

As recommended elsewhere Ive gone into regedit and changed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>ProgramFilesDir (and ProgramFilesDir (x86) value from C:\Program Files to E:\Program files, rebooted and tried to reinstall.

The installation still wants to go onto C drive. Even when choosing Custom installation over Typical you have no option to browse/specify a folder of choice.

Any ideas welcomed!

As you'll know most other games allow you to change the installation directory when you choose custom install, not this one (or at least not the collection edition)
