I've repaired my game... Changed the values in the registry folders. I can't find the the solution.

Anything else I can do?

Are you using a legit copy or a cracked copy?

Open regedit and check for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Battlefield 3" key.
There should be an "Install Dir" entry. Make sure it's set to the proper path.
You can also delete "Battlefield 3" key and then repair the game again through Origin. It will create that key and it's entries again.

Or you can check this post: viewtopic.php?t=7321&p=44930#p44930

Change the registry key to 100% match your install location. It appears that languages could be an issue (Programme (x86)). Then again, not 100% certain. Try changing it, and see if it works.

"Program Files (x86)" is an enviroment variable, so that's not the issue. In my case, (portuguese) the folder is called "Programas (x86)" and it works fine, since it uses the same environment variable "Program Files (x86)".
If issues such as this one keep coming up, maybe vu.exe should default to Environment.CurrentDirectory when the registry key can't be read...

Highly probable your registry entries are FUBARed. Un-install and use ccleaner to remove any left over crap and then try re-installing.
