<p>I want to have my default pathway "C:Program Files (x86)SonyEverQuest IIEverQuest2.exe" launch the game. However, when I try to put that pathway into the install location for the new launcher it says: "you must enter a valid directory name. Please select another location."</p><p>How do I make the launcher use my default pathway?</p><p>Currently when I use "C:Program Files (x86)SonyEverQuest IIEverQuest2.exe" the game will not run, it tells me I have to have Windows XP or higher. (I'm using Vista)</p><p>I can run the game normally through the streaming launcher, but none of my add-ons will work. (Profit, eq2maps) I need my add-ons!</p><p>Thanks for any help,</p><p>Ditty</p>

Here's some useful files you can move over.</p><p>eq2_recent.ini (your in-game option settings, display, sound, ui options and so on)</p><p>(servername)_(charactername)_eq2_uisettings.xml (controls your UI setup, windows positioning and so on)</p><p>The entire UI folder. (This is where ProfitUI and EQ2Maps is located so just move the whole folder or reinstall those add-ons to the steaming launchpad install manually)</p>
