No such luck. I did a clean install of EQ2Maps into the c:\games\EQ2MAP Updater\ directory and set compatibility mode to XP SP2 and Run as Administrator then fired up the updater. Right at launch, the updator barfed out the following:

I'm not sure this is hardware related (as I get the feeling it is related to Vista's unique security requirements) but I will post my system specs anyway just in case they can be of use.
As stated previously, I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit OS with all current Microsoft patches in place. Nvidia drivers are at version 163.69.
System hardware specs include; q6600 quad G0 stepping CPU (overclocked to 3.51ghz), XFX 8800 GTS 320mb XXX Edition video card, 4 GB of Crucial Ballistix PC8500 DDR2 (running 1:1 linked ratio at 780mhz with 3-3-3-10 2T timings), Antec True Power Quatro 850watt power supply, and twin Seagate 250gig SATA-II hard drives in Raid 0. And yes, I have stability tested my overclock using OCCT and Folding@Home (running all 4 cores at 100% for 24 hours each).
