<p>Open your everquest2 folder, find the LT_temp folder and see if you can find the file in its compressed form, from there use WINRAR or winzip to unzip it to its proper location within the eq2 folder, if this doesnt work you might have a corrupted copy of the file in your EQ directory, find it, delete it and repatch</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>I notice you mention running as administrator, but how did you do that?  There are several ways to run as an administrator in Vista and some are more effective than others.  Please run through the following steps and make sure you have completed all of them. </p><p>1. Right click on the program launch icon2. Left click on "Properties".3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".8. Right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"</p><p>Let me know if the problem persists after trying those steps.</p>

<p>I am having the very same issue right now and running as an admin isn't working.  This is under Windows 7.  It just says 'Processing' and doesn't get past that decompressed file.</p>
