EQ2 Map updater crashes

[Tonein]

I'm trying to use the map updater for the first time (to install it) and it constantly crashes with a generic message "EQ2MAP_Updater.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have .net 2 installed so that isn't the problem. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?

Have you looked in:

There are issues with .NET framework 2 (it was built with .NET framework 1.1) that I think they have worked around in that thread.

[Tonein]

Yes, I've done that with no success. Same error keeps happening.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with no success.

BUMP: I still can't get it and I've tried everything. Can I please get some help? I really want to get this awesome program working!

What operating system are you using?

[Tonein]

Windows XP Professional Edition 2002 version with SP2 installed.

I'm having the same problem, was getting the exception error, installed .net 2, still was getting it, installed the config file in the sticky, not I just get the generic error. Using XP.

So still no ideas on this one? Any way to get the map files and put them in by hand since the updater simply won't run at all?

Same problem here. I'd love to see an answer on this one soon.
