Run time error 5?
 

Hey, I'm trying to set up EQ on another computer and when I run the patcher it gives me:

Run-time error '5':

Invalid procedure call or argument


So i tried using the run command

(my drive it's installed on is a partition called D)

"D:/eqemu/eqgame.exe" patchme

and I get

The EQGAME.EXE file is
linked to missing export MSS32.DLL:_AlL_set_3D_speaker_type@8.


Odd... I don't recall a missing file :)

I'll try patching to eqlive but usually you don't need to do this after installing the expansion packs. At least it didn't when I installed it on windows XP (this is a ME comp).

Any help would be appreciated. <bow>

Wow theres more :) I get a 2nd error after the initial one I posted above. It sais:



D:\eqemu\eqgame.exe

A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Solution
 

If anyone had the errors that I did, then this is the solution.

Although installing the games is fine, it doesn't give all necissary files (it did on my other comp, but apparently on ME this isn't the case).

Run eq live patcher 1st then run the eqemu patcher.

It's a simple solution to a simple problem. I should have tried that before I posted here but hey, I'm lazy. After I posted I ran the patcher and went to bed hehe. Sad, isn't it?

Oh well, at least it's not all that bad. Not like its something embarrasing....
