How do I get patcher to work
 

I am very new to EQemu and just downloaded patcher. And when I use it I get a " Runtime 53 error" :cry: ANd I also get a list of stuff that is missing. Any help on how to get this to work would be great :lol:

same thing
 

i am having the same problem, any suggestions on how to fix it?

Well I just found out how to get it to work. Download the patch into the EQ emu file or what ever file you made when you made a copy of everquest. Then doulble click on the icon that says sumthin like Eqemupatch.zip
( You may have to scroll down a bit) then double click on that to unzip it. After that install it to the EQ emu file (mentioned above) and doulble click on a new icon called Patch and then it should start to download all the files. This may be a bit confusing but it works if you get it right :twisted:

thats what i did
 

that is what i did last night and it still doesnt work. :?:

Did you read http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?t=6318 Specifically item 3

Eqemupatch.exe and mdac_typ.exe are install programs, run them from anywhere, and follow the install dialogs.

where do i put these?
 

do i put that in the orignal EQlive folder? or the one i copied to run EQemu?


i tried both ways, and im still getting errors saying i am missing files, i get the green scrypt saying that EQEmu is good to go, but when i i have the run checked, i still get there error 53

When talking about EQEmu stuff you can assume your "EQ folder" is the copy you made specifically for EQEmu.

I thought the installer took care of all the files needed except the mdac_typ, but perhaps you need the MS VB runtime files

Write what runtime 53 says - I don't remember it by heart. If you write it, I'll fix it.

error 53 is...
 

file not found. it says i am missing a lot of files, but in green it tells me that EQ can run if i dont have the box marked in time. and i have copied directly from the EQlive folder. :?:

You installed patcher to the wrong folder if it does that - reinstall it, and specify your /everquest (not /everquest/patcher) folder. Make sure that the INSTALLATION goes to everquest folder, not the install exe file that you doubleclick to install.

This is what the filename where you downloaded it to

C:\program files\<whatever file you named your copy of everquest>

And I think you install to that program also. Hope this helps :twisted:

WOOT
 

LOL, i cant believe it took that long. oh well it was fault, thanks everyone for helping.
