<p>You can try deleting the problem file and forcing the Launcher to re-download it, but it may not get past this issue if the file itself is not the problem.  Station Launcher support is very limited and our suggestion at this point would be to make the transition to the EQII specific LaunchPad.</p><p><a href="http://launch.soe.com/eq2" target="_blank">[EQII] LaunchPad</a></p>

<p>deleting the file did nothing</p>

<p>That's basically where my Station Launcher support ends.</p><p>Yes, moving to the LaunchPad will prompt a sizable re-download.  If you copy your previous files over, however, you can avoid a good amount of it but it still requires updating and file conversions.</p>

I have 13.1 GB in my EQ folder, why doesnt the EQ2 launcher recognize where I have the game and install everything there?</p>

<p>I have just updated to Windows 7 and when updating my EQ2 files, I am getting this exact same error message. Has anyone made any progress in getting this to work yet?</p>

<p>Please download the LaunchPad I linked in the my initial response.  Let me know if that one gives you issues too.</p>
