    Can't Install Seekers of Adoulin

    Hi guys

    I just tried to install Seeker's of Adoulin and I get "FINAL FANTASY XI is not installed". Now, I think the problem here is is that it's installed to my Steam Directory, so any ideas on how I can get around this?

    Thanks

    guessing you got the non-steam version (may not be available until after it launches)? Not sure if that will work without being able to designate the installation path (ie: with a custom install option).

    Double check the installation requirements for the version you purchased...it should say that it requires the steam client for installation:

    Im EU so I purchased through http://uk.gamesplanet.com/buy-downlo...n-3778-37.html when it was announced.

    There's no mention of steam and when I go to install using the installer it states that FFXI is not installed (no option to search for it) and the installer closes.

    Greetings!

    We have actually have a article about this in our Support Center! Please try these following steps:

    To install the Seekers of Adoulin expansion pack for the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY XI, please follow the instructions below.
    1. Launch the PlayOnline Viewer
    2. Exit the PlayOnline Viewer by clicking on the 'Exit Viewer' button located in the menu selection
    3. Install the Seekers of Adoulin expansion pack
    Failure to launch and exit the PlayOnline Viewer before installing the Seekers of Adoulin expansion pack will result in the error message stating you first need to install the PlayOnline Viewer.

    Expansion data has not been installed. You cannot enter areas that require expansion pack data.

    Because it hasn't gone live yet. Camate posted in another thread about it:

    I'm still getting this error. I'm not using steam (I don't think!?) It uses it's own downloader to install the program. I get the same message "unable to install because FINAL FANTASY XI has not been installed". Is it because I originally bought the NA version and I downloaded the EU version of SoA? If so, is there a way around this? (I seem to remember being able to change a .dat file somewhere for a previous installation).

    I have the same issue Babes, it's a pity.I don't have the energy to find a free EU ffxi for re-install and then up to 15 hrs update not including new content.It's another fine mess that I'm too old for.

    They will need a patch for POL or we are going to be forced to find an EU ver.

    I think I will just download Res evil 6, it looks good.
