They should really rename the EQEmu Launcher to
EQEmu Intermittent Convenience . The damned thing has almost never worked for me, personally.
If you follow this install guide:

Then open the zip and drang and drop those files into your EQ folder and overwrite all, you won't even need to bother with the EQEmu Launcher at all. B)
