Hey all, Could use some more help :) I downloaded the platinum version from station.com but when I go to unzip some files I get this error..

WinZip cannot open C:\ProgramFiles\data3.cab\because it is not in the standard CAB format (As defined in mid-1998). The "Signature Bytes" required by CAB Specification are missing.

any ideas?

Sounds like the file may be corrupt, redownload it if you can.

Are you trying to install EQ on a computer that never had it before? Don't bother with that download. Just go to the EQ Live site, and get the new patcher (see link below). Put the patcher into the directory you want EQ installed in (such as C:\program files\everquest). Then run it, and it will download everything for you. When it's done, click on the advanced tab, and you can download all the expansions as well.
