I recently tried to install my copy of FFVIIIPC onto Windows Vista but it didn't work. However, the installation process ran smoothly back on XP. The error presented to me was:
"An error occured during the data move process: -106
Component: FF8 Program Files
File Group: Program executable files ENG
File: audio.dat"
Is there any way to fix this problem? Thank you in advance.

From what I gather this is an error message from the InstallShield setup meaning the CD could not be read during copying of the file audio.dat. It could be caused by scratches/dust/bad sectors on the CD etc. Different CD-ROM units/drivers have different tolerance for read-errors and this may be the reason you're seeing this error on one computer but not the other. Usually CD-ROM drives capable of writing are better able to handle this kind of error than regular drives.
Might be possible to simply copy the files over from the XP installation.

Ah, I see. Thank you very much, magixts. I shall do precisely that.
