Eq2map updater does not start

[ozbatov]

I have installed EQ2MAP-Updater-1.0.17. When I try to launch the program I am getting the following error:
"EQ2MAP Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost."

I have used eq2map over 3 years, problems began with version 1.0.16 for me. (Or maybe something changed in my computer at the same time v1.0.16 released)
Any suggestions?

Looks like something has gone wrong on your side.
You can try to reinstall .NET 2.0 and see if that helps.

im having the same exact problem. it prompts me with an error message, "updater had to close due to an error, please try again" every time.

I'm getting this same error. Here's the whole story. . .
I was in EQ2 and my maps were fine. I zoned, and I lost all the location / quest / NPC points. So I zoned again but it kept happening everywhere, even Qeynos, Antonica, Bonemire, Enchanted Lands, you name it. So I exited EQ2 and tried to run the Updater. I got this same error: "EQ2MAP Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Immediately, I removed EQ2 Maps, downloaded the latest version, along with the POI Finder, and re-installed. Same error. So I came here and found this thread. I followed the instructions (I had MS .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5 installed.) I removed them all and re-installed them all, with current service packs.

Here's the kicker:
I'm still getting the exact same error.

What I don't understand is how it can be working just fine and then simply stop working. I'm not running any modified UIs: I use the default UI from EQ2. I've been using EQ2 Maps for years with no issues before this.

I'm at a loss.

le sigh

Any new help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eevin

There is still something wrong with your .NET installation, but i don't know what.
Has happend to me to, had to reinstall windows.
You can use Landiins Eq2henchman instead to update your maps , if you can't get .NET to work.

This seems to be a growing trend. Obviously, there's something more to this then. I can uninstall and try to reinstall Net Framework 2.0, but I get the same type of error (shutdown error).

Has anyone solved this problem yet???

I am having the same error. This is the error according to Windows.
-----------------------------------
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : eq2map_updater.exe P2 : 1.1.0.2
P3 : 492ff6cf P4 : mscorlib P5 : 2.0.0.0 P6 : 461eee3d P7 : 1e72
P8 : 0 P9 : system.typeloadexception
-----------------------------------

I re-installed the .net framework and still the same. It started out of nowhere before I installed the new version.

Anyone figure this out yet?

Sorry , there is not much i can do as this is a .NET issue.
For now i don't know any other solution exept to reinstall windows
But please use Landiins MAP updater instead http://www.eq2interface.com/download...2Henchman.html
