Step 1: Installation Preparation
To start off, you'll need to download all of the links provided above. Keep FFXISETUP.EXE and the corresponding data files together in their own folder, separate from any other files. Begin preparation by installing all four Microsoft packages. Depending on the operating system you're running, your system may already have them pre-packaged. This is fine, just move on to the next! All four Microsoft packages must be installed in (x86) ONLY.
If you're running Windows 8 or 10, an additional step is required. Right click the START button on your task bar and select Programs and Features. On the side menu, choose Turn Windows features on or off. From this point, find Legacy Components in the list and enable DirectPlay in the drop-down folder. Please remember that this step is ONLY required if you're running Windows 8 or 10.
Step 2: Installation
When FFXISETUP.EXE and the corresponding data files are all together in their own separate folder, run FFXISETUP.EXE. This is a fairly large installation and you will need to be present during the installation to accept on multiple different windows that are required in order to complete installation. Follow the prompts for installing PlayOnline Viewer, Final Fantasy XI, and all of the expansion packs. Using the default file location is recommended.
Step 3: Pre-Update
Locate the file UpdatePatch.Zip or download from the Files section located here.
