I have even run a validate and nothing stops it from wanting to install the full game.</p><p>I did NOT have this trouble installing on regular EQ2 - only about 13mb download - just the launcher stuff -- followed in the FAQ pictures of what to do - but THIS DOES NOT WORK ON TEST. NO error message - installs launcher and starts downloading the whole game. I am using full install as I HATE the partial thing with the dinosaur marching around.</p>

You go to the Version pull-down in the upper-left corner of the regular game's launchpad, it'll pull up a panel with a pull-down, and you select Public Test from the pulldown and apply it. As with previous Test Server installations, you can speed things up a bit by copying the base game tree down into TestServer (follow the instructions in the text file that's in the TestServer directory) before switching to Public Test.</p>

<p>Test server installs to a subfolder in the EverQuest II game directory.  This is by design.  Station Launcher handled this a little different by installing an entirely new copy to a new location.</p>
