So I recently thought of getting an older pc that supported directx 8 (for better compatibility with ffxi) but i just noticed that i can't seem to get the new installer to run on 2k xp and vista like it extracts the file but after it installs directx it says it needs a new version of the windows installer module to install playonline and ffxi. Is there a repository for the old installer somewhere i have not been able to find the older installers (though I guess I could get a disk copy of ebay but it won't have the seekers I dont think square still sells disks)

ps i do know it is inherently insecure to use a machine running the listed system versions and win 7 in a safeguarded environment its should be fine though
