First of all, this was Vista B1 (note the date folks). Second of all, getting FFXI working in Vista B2 is way easier. Here is what I did, while all of it may not be required, it worked for me so it just might work for you:
- Install POL from CD.
- Configure POL to run in XPSP2 compat mode, admin privs
- Patch POL (this worked perfectly the first time)
- Install FFXI and expansions
- Configure FFXI launcher (type "final fantasy" into the search bar and this should be your first hit) to run in XP SP2 compat mode, wtih administrator privileges.
- Launched FFXI via said link, patched.
- Installed windower, tweaked. Again configured WIndower to run as above.
And it worked.
