I have 2 accounts and want to run both on the same comp but when i try to load 2nd account the install shield asks if i want to modify fix or uninstall. i never get a chance to tell it a different download path for a new account how do i get 2 seperate installations?

Short answer, you don't need separate installations if it's on a single machine.Much the same way as you can have multiple instances of MS Word or IE running, you can have multiple instances of EQ2 running.Simply log in, minimize the window, and run the launcher again with the second account.I must warn you though, running two on one computer can tax system resources rather strongly.
