Haha yea, I always liked that too. Anyway, this really shouldn't have turned into a Vista vs XP thread - that was my fault due to my cynicism and I apologize for that. But I do feel compelled to reply because ..while I am anti-Vista at the moment, that doesn't mean I won't be using it a year from now. Techguy is right - when XP came out it was a jumbled mess also, and legions of slobbering Microsoft haters stormed the internet denouncing XP and Microsoft to no end ..and now ...XP is a well rounded useable OS for most. That will eventually happen with Vista, it will take time, like it usually does with Microsoft products. And who knows ..one day I may actually like it.

But enough of that.

To the original poster: Techguy's suggestion might work better than mine - when I had Vista I actually didn't think to install EQ in a different directory. Anyhow let us know if it worked out for you. Good luck!

Regards,
Sonic

I installed per Techguy's FAQ (I had the good fortune to print the PDF before he took it down).

I've had the same Vista 32-bit install since February, but I did get a -1006 unknown error when trying to install. I had to delete the installshield version per the Sony Support KB (probably there from eq2 or vanguard???).

Anyway, worked fine for me, so I'm interested in the error details.

Thanks,

Vista SUCKS.

Plain and simple.

Chuck it then bang your head against the wall about 100 times.

You're supporting an OS that takes away your privacy and freedoms.

THAT means nothing to you? You'd trade your freedom for AERO?

That's the real issue of Vista. It's flawed.. BY DESIGN.

Um, ok....

In any case, if you get a Vista-specific error message, please reply here because I've gotten everything up to minilogin working fine. The only out-of-the-box error was an out-of-sync InstallShield.

I'm happy to help.

Vista supports global warming.

Regardless how we all feel, VIsta is here to stay (so long as MS has the OS market cornered.
The 400.00 PC's in Walmart come pre-loaded with whatever MS wants (currently Vista) - so the next generation of pc shoppers will be getting Vista, like it or not.
Its always been like this, no one liked any of the windows versions at first, but eventually you like it (you're stuck with it).
I always build my own PC's and stay mostly in Linux - keep a Windows machine for things like Everquest client, a few other windows games and applications I like. XP works really nice for me, so I don't see any need or use for vista.
