 Once the patcher is downloaded unzip the four files. I just put them right in the DoV dir. When this is finished run the EQ2EMuPatcher.exe. On the first run you should be greeted with a box saying you need to specify where the EQ2 dir is located. Click the OK button and browse to the install location. You will have to select the EverQuest2.exe so the patcher knows where to find it.

 In order to launch the client to connect to the emulator the '''EverQuest2.exe''' must be used. A shortcut can be made to the desktop by right clicking and choose ''Send to'' then ''Desktop (create shortcut)''. You can rename the desktop shortcut to what ever you like that will allow you to distinguish between ''Live'' and ''Emulator'' clients. '''Do not try to use the ''LaunchPad.exe''. This will connect to daybreak/SOE and undo the changes made to the eq2_default.ini, and will update your client'''. You do not want that as live support is not updated very often for the emulator without enough interest. In fact if you want to delete the ''LaunchPad.exe'' go right ahead and do that.

 The nice part about it all is that your eq2_default.in has now been set to connect to the emulator, but the client is still not ready to actually connect just yet.
