[seph32]

Basicly I have win7 and XP dualboot I'm having issues with windower on win7 so I want to run FFXI on XP, but I need the registry entries I remember reading somewhere to just copy registry entries the only question is where and how?

Thanks in advance!

You have to create a batch file to change the entries for you.

One that changes them from the windows 7 wow64node path to the regular xp path.

The batchfile is used to register the required DLL files
copy and paste this into notepad and save it as "pol.bat" or something similar, making sure to get the .bat filetype extension

FOR /R %%G IN (*.dll) DO regsvr32 /s "%%G"

Stick that in your pol folder and run it from winxp.

You might have some trouble since win7/vista has a different POL version for the OS, idk if it'll run in xp. I'm not sure if it'll work, but after transfering all the files, maybe try installing xp pol ontop of the folder (make a backup just incase it doesn't work)

For the registry stuff, export the tree [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PlayOnline US] from win7, then edit it with notepad deleting every \Wow6432Node section in the file to make it look like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS save it and run from winxp. Of course, change US to EU as needed

Thanks for the replies. I've tried doing it POL boots, but it says FFXI is not installed error 022 how do I fix this?

Thanks.

I forget exactly what's done to fix that error, but try running both the bat and reg files again, and then restarting the computer. If that doesn't work, then it could be the incompatible pol issue I mentioned, between win7 and xp
