Map updater wont launch

[rk2029]

Downloaded and installed auto updating version of map updater but I cant get it to run. It pulls up a file directory and asks me to "select my eq2.exe file and gives me a list of files...I dont know what to do with. I've never encountered this on any other computer I've installed it on.

You're supposed to browse to the EverQuest installation directory, and select the eq2.exe file, not a random file.

Yeah, I understand that, But there isnt an eq2.exe file to be found anywhere So what then???

Look for launcher.exe then. EQ2.exe is the old style patcher, Launcher.exe is the streaming patcher. I forget what the Station patcher's name is.

As for the access denied issue -- see the sticky. Run as an admin.

I have set the map updater to run in the same location as the station launcher but it pops up with something asking for a name and password and I have no clue what that's about. Does it make a difference if I'm trying to install but dont have the full EQ2 game installed, this pc only has the free trial installed, I'm thinking that might be it, but I seem to remember installing it no problem on my other compter when all I had was the free trial.
