I recently moved from one pc to another and am having troubles reinstalling ffxi. I got the windows 7 pol from the website, and downloaded it no problem, but I no longer have the original cds for the ffxi download.

Before putting my old pc away, I put the entirety of FFXI folder on a external HDD, and threw that file into the SE folder (I know its in the right spot and named correctly because I based it off my fiances folders). That being said, its saying that ffxi is not installed, because to my pc's knowledge it isnt, even though all the files are there. Is there any way I can set a directory path or w/ever to be able to scan the ffxi files, and confirm I have the files so I can friggin play lol?

Needless to say, my first thought was to torrent the cd files. However I am reluctant to torrent anything game related due to obvious virus/hacks that I may come across ><...

There are registry entries related to the installation that tell it where it is installed. I've never fooled with them. Instead I do the install, THEN copy over that with the previous installation.


I have direct downloads for the installation files if you need them.

Krizz did you ever look into putting up a EU version of the discs?

not sure if you're bothered enough to do so, but several people could use them and I don't have the resources to do so.

As I don't have the EU discs, I only have the US version available.

That may or may not help with your issue. If you get past that part, I will tell you how to register the DLLs.

edit: I forgot to mention that you need to run the reg file after you create it.

I thought I had the .ISO copies of the discs on my last pc, and had to put my graphics card from the new pc back to the old pc to retrieve those. So my new pc is MIA for a few while I grab those. I'll be trying the .reg file before going through the downloaded files I have, if it's easier.

It's pretty simple to set it up without reinstalling.

Yeah, try to run POL, and tell the me the error it says. There are going to be errors since you didn't register the DLLs yet.

Might want to just do the reinstall method unless you feel like checking the registry to see if that reg filing is writing.
