Think you have to renamed the dsetup file like DSetup.dll or something like that. It's case sensitive or thats what i remember seeing in another thread.

Make sure the file is wherever your P99 folder is and whitelist it (or the entire folder) from any antivirus/malware programs.

Make sure you have download EQFiles33.zip (latest patch) and unzipped it to your P99 folder, overwriting everything. If you're sure you've done this, then ignore the "update spell file" error (it lies).

Might be safer to create an exception to the file, rather than turn them off altogether.

If you google search your antivirus program's name and then the phrase "create exception" or "ignore file" then you should be able to find a guide on making your antivirus ignore the dsetup.dll file.

Noticed it was for a linux machine but maybe renaming will help you aswell.

thanks for all the help, turned out my mcafee was deleting the file as soon as i unpacked it, it was tricky to make an ecception as soon as i unpacked it anywhere it would delete it, and if i shut it off it would grey out the button to make ecceptions, had to just have all the windows open and as soon as i unpacked in eq folder had to quickly select the file and hit ok on ecception list lol
