Everquest.exe not found

[pokerjay67]

Im getting this error, and I search my eq2 folder and it is no where to be found but on the Test Server.

Now, I played eq2 for 2 years and i took a three month break..(just came back today) 3 months ago my profit ui was working fine, I never deleted the eq2 folder and therefore i thought profit would still be there. BUT, as I play eq2 it is still installing things and patching as I play.

so could it be that i need to wait until it is done patching?
if not please help..I am not clear on how to manually install it, or can I get a link to an extremely clear version, im a computer nub!

TYVM!!!

OK i found the right path..I think..

On the auto updater when there are the three different paths, does there have to be one to the .exe client. I didnt have an everquest2.exe in my regular everquest 2 folder and therefore copied the one from the test server to there. If i hadnt done that it would still be saying cant find everquest2.exe
the profit folder is in my UI folder and everything LOOKS right, the eq2.ini file is written as supposed to be, no spaces or w.e

Please Help! - I get in game and I have no option to upload old Profit UI settings I had months ago, only able to upload 2 ui's (which are both default) one of my alt and one of my main toon. Also /loadui doesnt show anything but the default ui!

any suggestions?

Yes, you are installing to the wrong path if there is no everquest2.exe already.

Ok, I have been Looking and noticed, that SoE has a new Installer that installs the Zones as you play them, I have run in to the same issue, they called it something live Updater. and this Sucks, becasue it is all the Default formats,

Now I am a Backup Freak so i Just Copyed Pasted the Sony Root folder and ran the Game from there and i had no issues run Profit Updater, but there is a New Problem, after talking to a GM on SoE fourms Chat that they may make the Launcher and Everquest2.exe and eq2.ini obsoliete and Merger everyone to the new Update on the fly software.

Not much to worry about.
I would actually just have to change how the updater determines the games location.
By default the streaming client installs the game to c:\users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II Streaming (on Win Vista and 7). You can change that path on install, just make sure it is no protected folder as \program files is e.g.
I guess there is no EverQuest2.exe anymore.

Cannot test it though, since the Streaming Client does not run on any of my three computers around at the moment. And since its quite beta, I do not care much about it either :P

This is strange that you say a GM said this because its in the official forums that you will "always" have the option to use the old patcher and launcher. And that the new "Streaming Client" (not live updater) would be for those who want to use it. Also eq2.ini isn't even needed with a vanilla installation of the game and if added the game will read it.

We will always have the option to download everything beforehand. That's not the same as always having the option to use the old patcher -- in fact, they're already weaning people off the original patcher. You can no longer download it directly from them, to my knowledge.
