FFXI Reinstallation

[ryuke_xi]

Okay,

I've been up all night trying to install FFXI on my Girlfriend's new laptop. I don't have access to the discs at the moment so I'm just trying to transfer the C:/programfiles/playonline directory from her old laptop to her new one via an external harddrive. I did the same thing for my laptop when I upgraded it but I just can't seem to get it to go.

I know there must be 50 different topics and 50 different registry edits but none of them seem to work. Can anyone offer me a precise list of instructions on how to make her old PoL directory load on her new laptop?

The error I keep getting is, "playonline viewer installation cannot write to specified destination folder. Please check your access privileges."

I'm installing it right to C:/Program Files and she's an admin on the computer. The "ffxifix.bat" file that was in my folder did not seem to help.

Anyway, can anyone tell me what files I need to get/replace whatever and what I need to do with them? As as I said I'm sure the information is out there in bits and peices I just can't seem to find what I need.

Thanks in Advance.

Ryu

Is this something you've already seen/tried? I've never done it, but this is the guide I always hear people referring to for this process.

What are the operating systems on the old and new laptop?
