Reinstalling EQ2 Problem

[Ashmen_Skimmerhorn]

<p>I upgraded from WinXP to Win7 and need to reinstall EQ2. I am trying to install the streaming client but it will only install to the path  C:ProgramDataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest II  but ProgramData is a hidden file so why is it trying to install into that one?</p><p>I would like to install it into  C:ProgramFiles(x86)Sony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest II but everytime I try it says that it is unable to create the floders. Why will it not allow my to install it there when all my other applications/games either go there,depending on if they are 64bit or not, or ProgramFlies?</p>
