just had the same issue after years away -- what fixed it for me was going into my eq directory and actually finding the "eqgame.exe" file which is separate from the "everquest.exe" file and creating a shortcut from that, putting in the patchme line like in the instructions, and then that ran. I couldn't get the .bat file mentioned in the getting started instructions to work, and the shortcut the installer automatically places on your desktop points at "everquest.exe" not "eqgame.exe" in case you were using that. Anyway, may not be your issue, but it worked for me, hope it helps.
ps swish!
