If you get the error message PlayOnline Failed to Replace POL.EXE heres what you do.

Make sure you can see file extensions, to do this open windows explorer and click on
-Tools
--Folder Options
---View
----UNCheck Hide Extensions for Known File types
----UNCheck Hide Protected Operating System Files
-----Close

Open windows explorer
Navigate to your POL SE Directory which by default is
C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer


Find the file
POL.EXE
Take this file and put in on your desktop.
DONT create a shortcut, you want to MOVE this file to the desktop
Now find the other POL file, its called POL.??? Ill update this when I can remember what it is.
Rename the file to POL.EXE
Restart computer
Delete the POL.EXE thats on the desktop (you have to restart to delete the file)
