Thanks. That is pretty much what I ended up doing once I realized that no change to security settings was having an impact on it. I hate Vista!!!

Thanks for the response!!

Create a temporary folder on your desktop and extract everything there. Then move everything inside that temporary folder (there should be 4 files and a folder) to your EQ2 folder -- if it asks if it's ok to merge or overwrite anything, say yes.

In the future and for those reading, I suggest installing EQ2 somewhere other than program files (the next time you have to install it). That prevents 99.99% of all 'access denied' issues in Vista.
