Changed the POL Directory

[Zempten]

Hello

I noticed that my C drive was running low on space. So I moved the entire PlayOnline folder to my D drive. I changed my shortcut on my desktop to target the new Directory D:\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer\Pol.exe, but for some reason the shortcut won't work.

Could anyone please tell me how to fix this problem .Thanks

Re: Changed the POL Directory

You can't just pick up and move program directories like that. Have you tried running FFXI from the new location you put it now to make sure it isn't the shortcuts but just the systems registry no longer can associate were it should be looking now?

With many of the Programs relying on the Data Link Libraries from Windows when you change it's directory path the keys in the registry would have to be re-registered to the new path as well.

I tried running the POL.exe files from the new drive, drive D. However it still wouldn't start.

Could you please tell me how to correct the registry?

Thanks in advanced

Re: Changed the POL Directory

there are a dozen or so entries that POL puts in the registry. I only remember the main one, but there are more that I don't know/haven't found. Just copy it back, or reinstall (uninstall first) if you absolutely must have it on your D drive. finding all the entries (some are not very intuitive) in the registry is a chore.
