<p>Thank heavens I'm not the only one.  I found a work around but it only works if you already have the patch from yesterday.  Go into computer, and find the everquest folder and use the icon in there to launch the game.  Should punt you straight into the spalsh screen and a generic login screen and then your in character select.  If you dont have the update from yesterday it will tell you that the client doesnt match the server etc etc. </p>

<p>I'm trying to install EQII fresh on Vista 64.  If I run the station launcher as administrator it attempts to re-download 3+GB of data.   This workaround sucks.</p><p>I do hope your game is a lot less buggy than I'm expecting. </p>

<p>Win7 - 64bit (Station Launcher)</p><p>run Station Launcher as administrator, repatch - 5 secs worth of DL</p><p>yes, it did phase me too, lol - but gawd do i love win7 now ... apart from the rollbacks and lack of sound, none of the nasties of XP <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>I did a fresh install today and things went smoothly.  By selecting run as admin the first time the launcher is run (and installing outside program files) I do not see the error.</p><p>Unfortunetly it's not a simple case of multiple 3GB downloads.  You've got at least one version of the installer that errors out when not run as administrator after a nearly full patch update, and when run as admin it re-downloads the full patch.</p><p>So the process for (some) new customers is:</p><p>Install DVDs.</p><p>Update 1 for 2 hours. (3GB downloaded)</p><p>Fail install with copy errors.  Google for solutions to the copy problem, run as admin.</p><p>Update 2 for 2 hours. (same 3BG downloaded)</p>

<p>I have tried all three options for fixing this problem for Vista.  No dice.  Any suggestions that do not involve re-installing EQ2?</p>
