EQ2 map programme not working

Afternoon all.

I downloaded the EQ2 map updater last night, but it didn't work. I read up on it and it said I needed the .NET framework, which I downloaded but couldn't install because it said it doesn't run on a 64 bit system, so what do I need to do now?

Any help is much appreciated

Haha, that website is awesome.

Anywhoo, as gm9 is pointing out you just need the 64-bit .NET.

haha, that was cool, perfect for someone like me who has so many blonde moments lol

cheers for pointing me in the right direction, I would have had no idea where to find that, or even that it existed.

Well, that didn't actually work. when i downloaded the .net framework thing, it said it was already installed on my computer.

When i click on the EQ2 map updater icon, a box pops up as if it's asking me which programme I want to use to run it. if i don't choose a programme and close the box, it says it failed to launch. Have I somehow downloaded the wrong thing or what???

Is it asking you to find everquest2.exe? If it is then that is correct, you then need to browse to it so it knows where to install.

Sounds like something went wrong.

Download from here: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...nOfficial.html

The downloaded file will be a .zip archive, in which you find an .exe which installs the updater. If that is not the case you may have some kind of AntiVirus program or other security software which is messing with the files, disable it and try again.
