Re: POL 9001 (1) plz help

It will work, but at what costs? Not everyone can afford to overhaul their director structures and existing physical partitions for the sake of getting a POL client to run. IMHO, that is extreme and falls under the category of "just not worth it." I've already invested money and time, why should I have to kowtow to SE's problems?

We should be allowed to run instances of these clients however we see fit after purchasing them. To me, it's a slap in the face and makes me wonder what motivated SE to do this in the first place (If anyone should be targeted, it should be those running IME through Windower, not people who use the actual JP client itself to play the game)

Double Post Edited:
Poked around in the registry when I spied this:

[CODE]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SQUARE CO.,LTD.]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SQUARE CO.,LTD.\PlayOnline Viewer and Tetra Master]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SQUARE CO.,LTD.\PlayOnline Viewer and Tetra Master\1.08.00b][/CODE]

Maybe I'm just imaging things but, I could've sworn there was no previous entry of this key before.


Also found this, just today, which is different from the JP client registry entry:

[CODE]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SquareEni x\PlayOnlineViewer\SystemInfo]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SquareEni x\PlayOnlineViewer\SystemInfo\QCheck][/CODE]
