For a 100% safe way, download them on Origin.

ea drop support for battlefield 1942 back in 2014 see link http://www.ea.com/1/service-updates

I have come to the conclusion that updating the version from Origin will not update to the current 1.6.19
Think its a better idea to go on ebay or amazon and purchase a copy on disc. that way you can update and play the game.
The update from the links here do not work on the version from Origin which is a shame. EA are losing out on revenue even if the majority don't play the game but then again if people don't know the game even exists let alone the company showing lack of support for the product that made the franchise.

if you have a Origin version of the game you can patch it up so it work on online again
