Need Windows 7 Help
I'm interested in making a server for EQEMU, but sadly have already come to some roadblocks, so I'm hoping that someone can help me out!
First roadblock:
I'm using Windows 7. Is it even possible to make a server using Windows 7? Has anyone here done it? I'm using this sites core guide, the PDF one. Should I be using a different one?
Second roadblock:
When I try to make the target file for the EQ desktop icon (the "C:\Program Files\Sony\Emulator\Eqgame.exe" patchme part) it tells me that it isn't valid.
I'm sorry if this question was answered elsewhere, but I can't find it!
Thank you to whoever put their time and effort into answering these questions.

I had an eqemu server on windows 7 and it was working perfectly as long as I played alone ...... There was too much quirkiness and network /lan/wan connections was not stable ....So I decided to rebuild with a VM xp sp3 and now it works flawlessly
I don't know if you will play alone or with web friends.... and it's my personnal experience and point of view ..... Maybe the next answer from the eqemu community will be to tell you that eqemu server with 7 is perfect...

Windows 7 runs fine make a starteq.bat file place in eq should look like this eqgame.exe patchme file and save then goto icon on desktop change it to say "C:\Program Files\Sony\Emulator\starteq.bat" works great for me.

Thank you for such quick replies! Sadly, I still have problems a plenty.
First off, I can't find any way to download mysql without waiting the 7 day period for it. Is there any way to get it without waiting?
Thank you.

Also, what version of Perl do I need? It says on the guide that I need the 32 bit version, but there isnt one on the website linked.

Or, you can use WAMP, XAMPP, or LAMP (depending on your operating system). Those are bundles including apache/mysql/php(and/or perl).

Okay, next roadblock: When I did the checkout directory for the database, I didn't end up seeing a peqdb_Rev781.sql.gz file in the folder.
Also, where it says "Download revision 744 with bots here" the link is dead. Is there an updated version?

Not sure where you're referring to, but you can get the most recent project EQ database from http://code.google.com/p/projecteqdb/ and server code from http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/ .

In step 3 of the guide at http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29043 it says that you should see a file called peqdb_Rev781.sql.gz and I don't see it anywhere. I tried searching for it using the search command, and it's not anywhere on my computer.
Thank you for the EQ databases!

Okay, so I just redid the steps to that part, and I found a file called:
peqdb_rev1052.sql
I'm guessing that this is the file I should find, even though it's a different revision?
This step also tells me to unzip it, but it's not a recognizable file, nor is it extractable. What should I do?
Also, should I move this thread somewhere else? Maybe to the link that I'm using to build my server? I figured I'd just put it here for a couple problems, but I seem to be having a ton now.
Once again, thank you to anyone who puts the time and thought to answer me.
