    You have to download the POL from the Official Website.

    It's Vista compatible.

    Sorry about that, I read it wrong. Did you register your game and expansions?

    You must make sure you open the DVD in explorer mode and install the actual FFXI game and the expansions. They don't autorun install on vista like they do on xp. Make sure you see the installation of the base game, Rise of Zilart, Chains of Promathia, and Treasures of Aht Urhgan (aka you have to go through 4 different installs plus the Play Online Viewer for vista you D/Led off the SE website).

    Yeah, i got bit by that too.  YOu have to install FFXI, then CoP, then blah blah seperately.  Talk about annoying lol.  Wanna know the fun part? You then have to go in and register each expansion pack content ID as well.  Wanna know what's more fun?  The ~4 hour update you'll have before you can play the game.

     

    This is something i've hated SE for since they've done it.  I dont know why they didn't add the updates to the 2006 or 2007 collection which would have made a HELLA lot more sense.  Just crazy and stupid.

     

    However, the game is awesome :) Hope you enjoy lol

    If you're still having problems with this, make sure that you've DL'd the correct POL for your area, I DL'd the US by mistake not the EU one, and I got the same message you did about it not being installed when I tried to get the game to run

    OMG that was so annoying but was well worth it since there uis still a healthy population which makes me happy how much imissed the music in this game thanks for the help and i am on asura server
