Someone please point out where I missed an instruction. I'm sure that's what I did. I've reread it so much, it's all sorta running together.
I have the EQ2 maps already installed and working (beautiful thing that it is.) I downloaded the updater and put it in the same custom UI folder as the maps. Ran it and got an error message about Common Language Runtime Debugging Services. Hit OK to close it or Cancel to stop the debugging service. The next window says No Debugger Found. Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2). Please check computer settings. cordb.exe !a 0xc44. I hit Retry to see if it would start the debugger manually but it shuts itself down.
Thinking I may have an old .NET, I used the link provided on page one by Taco Man. Overwrote the existing file and re-installed .Net framework. Restarted the PC for good measure and I keep getting the same error.
Next I tried putting the patcher in it's own custom UI folder...same error.
Penny for your thoughts.
