Creating Shortcut Issues - Please Help

[Mgora84]

Another Issue. Having issues when trying to create the shortcut. When I place:

"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

in the "Target" field I get the following error:

The name "C:\ProgramFiles\Everquest\eqgame.exe" specified in the Target box in not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

Step 5 - Creating Shortcut
Now, you will need to create a shortcut to launch EverQuest and bypass the EQLive patcher (if this step is not taken, you will launch the patcher and overwrite the EQHost.txt file that you just modified, making you connect to the global EQLive Login Server). To do this, go into your EverQuest directory. Locate the EQGAME.EXE file. Right-click on the file and select "Create Shortcut." You can rename this shortcut and drag it anywhere you'd like (most people like to put it on their desktop). Now, right-click that shortcut and select Properties. In the target box, you will see the path to the eqgame.exe file. We need to edit this so that it will pass an argument to that executable when the shortcut is launched. At the end of the text box (after any parenthases), add "patchme" (no quotes). Your target box should look similar to this:


"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

Or if you do not have spaces in the path, it will look like this without quotes:


C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme

At the end of the text box (after any parenthases), add "patchme" (no quotes).

Your install directory is probably in a different spot than the example in the tutorial, and it looks like you simply copied the entire line.

Make a new shortcut, and just add patchme to the end. :O
