do you have both eq and p99 installed?.. i know that gave me trouble when i first tried this.. took me a sec to figure that out.

I had a different error on this same issue, but it's coz I have a new computer.. Turning off UAC worked for me (this is my first windows vista/7 computer, UAC is new to me lulz).

im definetly not goin to do that uac thing seems risky im not computer literate im going to uninstall eq redownload torrent and start all over , im hoping because maybe i doubleclicked on eq it might have started patching and thats why i cant change it but now i know how to go into directory going to start whole process over

[Flunklesnarkin]

if you already have the torrent downloaded you shouldn't have to redownload it... just uninstall everything and start from scratch.. maybe it will work out better for you that way

I had the same problem. You will notice there are two examples one with 2 words for one folder in the path and one for all one word,you are using the wrong patch me example.
Do the other one exactly as posted.

i figured it out i had to change the permissions or somthing but then i messed up on step 5 lmao,, redownloading torrent for 4th time tonite i think i may get it this time!

I noticed that with Windows 7, if you install the game in the default folder it will not allow you to edit the eqhost file. I had to create a separate eqhost file on my desktop and then move it into the EQ folder. It's just a text file, so it's really not hard to do. Copy, paste, save, move... done.

Might want to make a backup of your torrent, so you don't have to keep downloading. Always good to have a backup. I need to backup my original Titanium discs as it is.
