Hi there Winz you may be attempting to install a NA or EU version on a version that is not currently installed on your pc. In other words.

1) If you have NA Client installed + a NA POL-ID > trying to install EU SoA that came with an EU reg code >>> This will not work and give that error (either this or 2)
2) If you have EU Client installed + a EU POL-ID > trying to install NA SoA that came with a NA reg code >>> This will not work and give that error (either this or 1)
3) If your game install is not showing up in the registry correctly then you will get that error too (highly doubt its this one) but if it is there are ways you can fix the reg to make it work properly again.

If you find yourself in either category 1 or 2 then you have probably done what i did and went and purchased a version not compatible with your installed client as well as the region that your POL-ID is locked to. In that case go to this post and see if that helps you or you can wait for an SE tech support to offer you a hand.

If you are absolutely sure its an EU client installed and you have an EU SOA then its your registry. Are you on windows ? and are you x86 or x64?

Ah missed that sorry about that , still though it would good to know if you are x86 or x64 as the install paths change depending on OS version.

SE forum topics on SoA install issues are like digging for answers in a barrel of cotton wool.
A simple thing like download expansion click on install and ffxi not installed is thrown up. I have 3 computers and they all get the same remark ffxi not installed where I have been playing them for years. So the issue is with the software download either not being specific
for the region or more likely corrupt or not done right with bugs or all three. If SE cannot do this right what hope for the rest of us.
