I look into the UI folder under the EQ2 directory and it isnt in there, so I move it there.......still nothing......Hmmmmm any idea's? I thought click download, run, next next next next, finish....Viole it would work. Atleast it did in the past haha. Can you say Vista or Me?

I guess you have EQ2 installed within \program files path. Programs are not allowed to write files in there for several years now, but Vista is the first OS which enforces this. If a program writes files to a place which it is not allowed to, virtualization kicks in (for compatibility reasons) and reroutes the files to %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore . I guess you'll find the missing files in there.
Three ways to fix that, two of them you can do:
1. Move EQ2 out of \program files path. Virtualization will not move your files.
2. Run the updater as administrator (right click, then run as administrator). The updater will be allowed to write to \program files then.
