I am able to run the patcher and receive files. However right when I start EQ, I get an error message saying "The procedure entry point _AIL_open_XMIDI_drive@4 could not be located in the dynamic link library mss32.dll" Any clues on this?
Have you downloaded and installed the .NET Framework? Just a thought as I have yet to install EQ/SoD
If you have, what I might suggest is that you retry the patcher. If that fails to address the issue, try downloading the files - HERE - to manually install the patch files. If all else fails, you may want to try uninstalling EQ/SoD and reinstalling - making sure to follow the instructions exactly.
Searching the forums for mss32.dll yielded numerous threads that reflected this - so you can always spend some time digging through old posts to try other suggestions, etc...
