I did see the thread for if you can't get the launcher to update (
http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...d.php?t=124070) and I sent it to him- I don't know if there are core files that are needed in the installation before you can extract the files in that post into the directory or not. If he just has, say, an empty Everquest directory, because nothing installed, will it still work?
