 Download the Evercraft Launcher here -- 2/5/2006 3:00:00 PM
|
Greetings!
1) Make sure you have the Microsoft .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 SP1 installed. For assistance with verifying your .Net installation, click HERE.
2) Download the Evercraft Launcher HERE. (If you have trouble with this new launcher, try the old launcher HERE)
3) Extract the zip file to a folder of your choice. This will be where all of Evercraft's files are downloaded and installed, so I wouldn't recommend your desktop. :)
4) Run "StartEvercraft.exe" (using Run as Administrator in Vista & Windows 7). This is the file you will run EVERY time you want to run Evercraft, so you might want to make a shortcut to it on your desktop. This utility will ensure that you have the most recent version of the .Net Framework installed as well as download the launcher program and keep it updated. The launcher and Evercraft both require .Net 3.5 SP1. If you do not have it, the utility will provide you with download links for whatever you are missing. Once the requirements are met, you will be able to click "Continue."
5) Click "Continue" after .Net 3.5 SP1 installation has been verified/completed.
6) The Evercraft Launcher will now be downloaded. Click continue when the download is complete and the launcher will run. You will then be prompted with a login screen. You must have an account on these forums in order to login.
7) After logging in, you will be presented with a series of prompts asking you to identify the location of your Everquest 2 installation.
8) If the program detects that you are using a custom UI for the game, you will be prompted to install the Evercraft UI in the same folder as your custom UI. If you don't want to combine the Evercraft UI with your existing one, just click NO when asked and the Evercraft UI will be installed to the default location.
9) If all went well, the launcher should begin downloading all the files needed to use Evercraft.
10) The launcher has 3 tabs: News, Licenses, and Update Status.
11) News is where you'll see information about updates and other things I have planned. Please take a moment to take a glance once in a while. This is how I communicate with you.
12) Licenses is where you can view any licenses you own and manage their registration to your computer(s), as well as see the status of your trial period. If your license says "Different Computer" and you want to use the software on your current computer, click the "Reset Registration" button on that license. You can only do this once every 15 minutes.
13) Update Status is where you can view the results of the file update process. During the update, you should see the flashing red status label in the top right corner of the launcher.
14) Once the update is complete, you should see "Update Complete" in the top right corner of the launcher and the status label should be blue. Additionally, the green "Start Evercraft" button should now be enabled.
15) Click "Start Evercraft" whenever you are ready to begin. This will run Evercraft and close the launcher.
16) There are some basic instructions on the "Instructions" tab of each product to help you get started using it.
That's it. If you have any problems or questions, come visit us in the forums and we'll be happy to assist.
Thanks!
Michael
