c:\images\iocns
c:\images\maps
c:\eq2map
and eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml is located on root of c:\

I have tried to use the "C:\Program Files\EQ2MAP Updater\EQ2MAP_Updater.exe /seteq2dir" switch but get errors "windows cant find etc...."

Ive reloaded EQ2 on a different machine and all works without any problems, maps are in correct location and all maps work within game.

Just for a test I copied the EQ2MAPS directory (in EQ2\UI folder) from this machine to machine having problesm ..but this did not work either.

*added bit*

I added the cl_ui_skinname EQ2MAP & cl_ui_subdir UI/ to the eq2.ini file (this was not updated for some reason on install) and hey presto .. all maps working now

BUT .... the autoupdater is still installing maps in the the dir's listed above and not in the EQ2 dir (so for a work around im updating on other machine and copying the dir acrross each time).

*end added bit*

Thanks.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. EQ2Mapupdater just install the dirs and files in the root dir of his installation path (for example c:\ if I chose C:\program files\...or d:\ if i chose d:\eq2mapupdater). Addionally the eq2.ini is not modified or created in an other dir.

Microsoft Framework etc is installed and up to date. Im using Windows XP with SP2. The work around with a manual installation works fine. And also the the cfg of eq2mapupdater seems ok and all pathes to eq2 are right.
