the exact message is:
EverQuest2.exe not found!
Please set your Everquest II directory in "settings, filepaths" first!

I'm somewhat mystified as to why don't just do what the message tells you instead of posting it here.
Or, if you want to install Fetish as your forum choice and the OP indicates, best follow Zonx' installation instructions for his UI, you appear to be posting about ProfitUI here.

I have been trying both UIs.... I dont know how to do what the message wants me to do... I am not a compleat dolt but I have no idea how to do this stuff... I have followed the instructions to the T and it still wont work. The Profit ui gives me that message and the Fetish wont tell me anything at all but still wont work... Yes right now I feel like a compleat idiot because I have people telling me to simply do this or that and I try but no one has told me yet step by step on how to do it. I am not a computer programer nore taken any computer classes... I am a stay at home mom who has a big problem with her game and no idea on how to get it working. Please if you can help then plz respon with help... but dont you think if I knew how to do what the message was telling me or that if I knew what I was doing wrong I would not be in the forums to begin with?!?

For anyone trying Profit with the Vista 64 bit
For anyone trying Profit with the Vista 64 bit... download the manual one to your sony/EverquestII file. Don't use the auto updater... I FINALLY had someone smart enough to tell me how to do this insted of posting insulting remarks and being retarded. To all those that really tried to help... Thank you! To those of you who said stupid things like "why don't just do what the message tells you instead of posting it here.", here is a clue (because you need one!) Not all the people that use this game are computer programmers nor do they come up with the programs on here... some of us know how to use the programs but not how it works... if people are posting on here, HELP them! Don't make STUPID remarks to them, because all that does is make you look stupid. Oh and there was no help for Fetish at all.

What this message is stating is to tell the auto updater where your everquest directory is located (since you have now moved it). Dont give up on the auto updater just yet. Start the auto updater, then go to settings, then file paths. Then in everquest ii folder, put the location of your everquest files. If you click the choose button, you can use the window explorer to find it instead of having to type it all out. If you placed the folder on the desktop, there may be too many sub folders to get correct if you try to type it. It may just be easier to place it on c:/sony/everquestii than on the desktop.
edit...
ps I will not cross post my answer to your other replies that you have in other threads.

Because all you said was you tried Fetish. Your later posts all referenced Profit.
Fetish doesn't have an updater. All you do is extract the zip into Program Files (x86)/Sony/EverQuest II/ or whereever your EverQuest II folder is.

Yes, there was, you are just being obnoxious, that's all, flaunting your "I'm computer illiterate" flag as if it was an excuse to not have to read even the simplest of instructions that people have posted to you, waiting to be spoon fed the info instead. Sorry, but it had to be said.

Fetish
Fetish usually will try to create a UI folder in the UI folder.
Like C:/Program Files/Sony/EverquestII/UI/UI/FetishNightfall
Just drag the UI back to everquestII and overright.
Then take the eq2.ini and copy it to the EverquestII folder.
Make sure to run the Map Updater program.
Hope that helps. I like Nightfall best. Profit seems to eat screen real estate to much for me.

I think you're extracting to the wrong destination folder; if you extract it to the EverQuest II folder you shouldn't have that extra UI/ in there =)

simple.
right click, select "run as administrator" fixes most problems.

I was on vacation or would have responded to this sooner.
There are very explicit and detailed installation instructions for Fetish in a stickied thread on these forumns, which include instuctions and links for installing the EQ2Maps auto-updater.
A common mistake is to extract the Fetish ZIP to the UI directory rather than the Everquest II directory. Once you have EQ2Maps installed and working, installing Fetish is a simple ZIP extraction to correct directory.
Attempting to install Profit probably complicated the problem by overwriting the eq2.ini pointing to Fetish.
If you still want to try Fetish, I suggest you follow the installation instructions as best you can, then if its not working... post the symptoms before messing with another UI.
I'm happy to help if I can.

I am using Vista x64 Ultimate and have never had a problem with Fetish or EQ2. Sounds like the issue is isolated to something on your machine configuration/compatibility wise.
