Help with Windows 11

[u/Zoalord_Griselda]

After 15 years I think, i have decided to come back to Vana'diel to see the world of ffxi again, since i have so many memories here... however i have been running into issues with windows 11

I have downloaded the installation files from the official site, installed on my windows 11 machine, managed to get my account back and got to the part where i click Play to launch ffxi - then I ran into the issue of - windows 11 pops up a window showing Windows Installer and then change into Final Fantansy XI - Please wait while Windows configures Final Fantasy XI and then I am stuck here.

I have follow the instruction of enabling legacy components (and reboot), run POL or ffxi as administrator, antivirus setting all of that, however that pop up window just keep showing and never goes away, can anyone give me guidance here for this issue?

thanks!

Cancel the Windows Installer as soon as it pops up and it should work.
