I finally find a copy of the PC version... and its the older 4 CD release with the “Delete all configuration and saved games files” issue in the installer. Unfortunately, renaming the setup file hasn't worked for me. Any suggestions* before I try to dig up an old XP computer?

*other than inventing a time machine just to buy it on GOG

You could try installing it on an XP virtual machine and copying the files to your main pc.

Since you have already paid for it and it's not available here anymore.
So I will suggest you to "borrow" gog installer as it must have fixed all the issues.
I just wish that some day XIII will be again on GOG and I would be able to add it in my library.

Piracy really would be a last ditch effort though. :l
I'm glad I bought it before it was removed from GOG.

I will certainly look into that option.

Did you follow the instructions exactly? Did you try it a few times. The reason I ask is that I did this a week or two back on my CD versions, and the first few times it didn't work, but after I exactly followed the instructions a couple of times, then it did go through ok.

You could give Installshieldwrapper a shot, it worked for a couple of games I couldn't install otherwise on Windows 7.
Be sure to remove it when you don't need it though, it gave me some install problems with newer games.

This is how I installed my discs to Win 7 64.

Haven't had an issue installing and it's been working flawlessly.

This game was bundled with some graphics cards that we got dozens of at work. Most of them went to trash :(

And within is a step missed on PCGamingWiki. ME compatibility, not XP. It seems to have finally installed on 8.1.
