Some versions of the EQ disks created different files where EQ would be installed.

Mines in C:\Everquest, and Ive seen people in a C:\Sony\Everquest and there may be others. Some people may have multiple or partitioned HD's.



Right Click on the Icon you use to start EQ, then click on properties.

There will be a line that shows the location of the EQ executable file.

It may be under 'target', or possibly 'location'.

For instance heres mine..

C:\Everquest\Everquest.exe

If you substitute the Everquest.exewith mapsso that it looks like this..

C:\Everquest\maps

That should be the folder you want to paste your maps in, or extract them to.

I download my map files to a completely separate file, and either 'copy and paste' them to the map file or extract them there. I dont know if the patcher would affect some stray.zip file or whatever.

And when windows asks if I want to overwrite a file, I always click yes, unless I know theres a particular file I want to keep.
