More precisely:

Run-time error '-2147287038 (80030002)': File C:\Program Files\EverQuest\Patcher.dat cannot be found

I am encountering this error when trying to patch back from a fresh install while using eqemu's Patcher program.

I am currenly running on Windows 98SE. I have updated the Mdac as was specified.

Other than that the only information I can supply is as follows:

W98SE
Virgin Installs of Everquest, RoK, SoV and SoL - in that order
Ran built in patch program.
Ran advanced patching checking ROK, Vellious and Luclin.
Ran Verify Patch.
Installed EqEmu Patch Program to c:\everquest\
Ran patch.ece and recieved an error after no activity for 20 seconds.
Run-time error '-2147287038 (80030002)': File C:\Program Files\EverQuest\Patcher.dat cannot be found


I have searched the boards for others recieving this problem recently and have seen no working solutions.

Are there any suggestions that I might be able to try?
Please and Thank You.

WinXP here patcher installed without a problem, patcher.dat is missing and patching is not working :(

It seems you may not have installed the patcher into the everquest directory, is everquest installed in c:\everquest or c:\program files\everquest? You say the patcher is in C:\everquest, but the file it's looking for is in c:\program files\everquest

The EqEmu patcher MUST be installed into the same directory as everquest.

You are correct,

It is in c:\program files\everquest

I was making a bit of a typo there.

Same problem


run-time error '-2147287038 (80030002)

file C:/program files/sony/everquest trilogy/patcher.dat cannot be found.


Was working before, and was playing on forever hacking.

Logged off, did some RL stuff, then came back on to mess around before work, and no longer worked. This was about 10 or so hours ago.



--edit--

Also note, it is in the correct path, as it was before. I uninstalled, downloaded, and reinstalled. Still doesn't work.

Okay that must mean the servers down, thats the same thing i get. So it CAN find Patcher.dat it just cant connect, and its giving us the wrong error msg. Thus confuseing us! Simple. try again tommarow.

Thank you to those that responded, and to those who run the PatchServer another thank you. It works and I have made the necessasary changes, and backed it up so that I do not have to deal with this again.

Thank you.
