Default EQEmu Patcher problems..

If you are having problems using the patcher, just download this http://www.eqemu.net/patcher/mdac_typ.exe , install it, and restart your computer.

Yes, it is true that a majority of the errors can be fixed by doing this, but there are couple of errors and cases where it does not help. For those of us/you who can't fix the problem with the solution above, I suppose we'll just have to wait until they fix the other errors or tell us how to prevent/fix them.

I've posted it in the general support forum. I'll copy/paste it here.

It says the following.

Quote:
Alright, I haven't seen anyone else with this problem, which is why I started a new thread instead of reading the other ones, they dont apply to me, methinks. So here's the deal.

I download the patcher and run the executable. It starts to install and I get the following error:

1608: Unable to create InstallDriver instance

I've tried various things I've seen on websites, I even tried that download that file on the patcher site. Nothing has worked, please, help me out please? Thanks.
and so far nobody has responded.

Default I have a big problem

I installed and ran the patcher becouse I was having some bug problems thinking this may help.

well it made it worse. now I cant even get to the player select screen.

so I installed the update thing and even worse yet. I can login select server and then crash to the desk top no mater the server I try.

please dont tell me I have to format hd or reinstall EQ becouse I have a 60gig HD and a good live account and thouse 2 options are not viable!!!

Oh, by the way hogie, I fixed my problem. So no help is needed.

As for this other person, why can you not reinstall Everquest? You're EQ live account will still be there when you finish, will it not?

Can you please paste me the info from the patcher if it works for you? And can you please do a : nslookup patchdata.foreverhacking.net for me? I can't seem to get a lookup here at all on that host.

I dont know that we have the sourcecode anywhere, but might be a VB/OS specific bug...
