Went to update maps today and got an initialization error. Uninstalled and downloaded most recent Updater file from EQ2maps link. Reinstalled and the program did not auto run as selected following installation. Attempted to open updater from shortcut and then from file directory and got following error
The application failed to initialize (0xc0000135). Click on OK yada yada yada.
You only get that error if .net is not installed or is old. For more information look for the red text on the page you downloaded it from, the faq at maps.eq2interface.com or the stickys in the forums.
