You can install to Program Files as the built in MOD shortcut is set to this but....
Because of the age of the game, you may have issues with the newer windows system and some API's and DLL's may be inaccessible depending on various circumstances... so it's hit and miss as to how to reliably install and more workarounds may be needed.
If you follow this method it will be relatively pain free and application compatibility settings will not be needed.

Install DF2 but change the installation folder to C: Games Novalogic or something similar because windows does "funny" things in both Program Files and Program Files (x86).
Then you must make sure the MOD installs to the same folder you installed the game to.
NOTE
At this point - Do Not try to link to DF2_AK-47.exe, to run the MOD you must still start the game with DF2.exe
To do this make a short-cut on your desktop to DF2.exe, then open the short-cut properties (right click) and add /d to the target data as follows
"Novalogic\Delta Force 2\Df2.exe" /d
Away you go
