Updater Error in Vista (EQ2Maps v 1.11 through 1.14 tested)

[jnils]

Thanx Ripper-Joe

So, in summary, it appears the updater requires the EQ2DIR variable to be set in the config file. A null value in this line of the config will produce an error at start up but when the path is defined (even if it is wrong) the updater will launch normally even in the absence of any other lines in the config file.

I think you have narrowing it down
It seems you have found the bug, its not really the config file, its EQ2DIR.

I assume you don't see a window telling you that it have found a EQ2DIR path ?

If the EQ2DIR path is empty it tryes to get the path to Everquest 2 from the registry. Here i think the program fails, it can't read from registry or don't have access to it.
If it can't find anything in registry , it should open a file dialog , telling you to select the path.
Ill have a look at it later today

Thanx again , this time i think we nailed it down
