4 CD Installation Problem
Only for the 4 CD retail version: This is to fix the pop-up that appears on CD 2, which says: "Delete all configuration and saved games files? (Answering YES will delete the XIII games install folder and all of its content)" Answering Yes or No stops the installation and constantly reappears if you start the installation again. Reportedly, appears on Windows Vista and Windows 7, only.
