Who even uses 32bit?

I love being limited to 3.75gb of ram!

I only have one desktop machine, and use it mostly for work which is why I thought it'd be a good place to run the emulator from.

But certain work applications will not run under 64-bit so I'm somewhat restricted there, and I don't want to use my laptop for the server and to play.

I do dual boot 32/64 but I need to keep my work apps running as much as possible, which is why I asked.

Used to play EQ years and years ago, was considering playing on an existing server (may end up being my only option), but the thought of starting over from scratch makes me want to run my own and have my friends over to play on my LAN.

I've got a few laptops, but beyond Win7 I only have 1 that came preinstalled with Win8.1 32-bit, which doesn't have the hdd space nor the ram to run the server well (and isn't supported anyways).

Found part of my issue.

Following the instructions I installed XAMPP. When I went to a prompt and created the 'peq' database, the prompt clearly states Maria DB [peq]

MariaDB is part of the server install package, but is 64bit and will not install on a 32bit OS.

When I created and ran setup.bat per the instructions, I got a lot of path not found errors. My OS System path had at least 5 MariaDB 10.0 entries which I believe were created everytime world.exe was run?

Regardless, MariaDB 10.0 does not exist hence the path is invalid.

So can I assume that the package installer itself (and the updater/tools) are incompatible with any 32-bit OS?

Located and installed 32bit MariaDB 10.0.27 (not the latest but wanted to be safe). Did *not* enable service.

Ran setup.bat, all path errors gone, updates working!

QueryServ still not working. Tried 127.0.0.1, localhost. Just hangs at connecting to mysql...

UCS connects to mysql fine, is running.

When I get this working I'll update my version of the install notes and post if anyone is interested.

LAN install, on a Win7 32-bit machine.

On a VMWare image that normally works great with this install I'm now getting lots of errors. Things go south right after Maria gets installed it seems:

Should be able to run the eqemu_server.pl (in your main eq server folder)
Akkadius had added an option in there to install/enable bots.

I don't even have eqemu_server.pl. It must be because I am using an older version from a few months back. Can I just redownload and install ontop of the older version? Or do I need to uninstall everything?

No - what you'll need to do is run eqemu_update.pl and update your windows binaries. Once that is done you should be able to run world.exe which will download eqemu_server.pl

Run the installer again from scratch?

I seem to be missing eqemu_update.pl after the installation. That brings up another question. The installation seems to stop with eqemu_server.pl running and not with "press any key to continue". The EQEmuServer folder is approximately 828MB with 7,674 files, on a Windows 10 64-bit system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
