Avast Removed Dsetup.dll

I use wineq. After waking up I went to log into EQ, and I get the error "Program can't start because DSETUP.dll is missing from your computer. I don't know if its wineq related or Everquest folder related.

I was having the same problem. Downloaded the direct x from the link above. Didnt help. Went into the avast virus chest and restored the file. Error now Im getting a failed to initialize error. When restoring the file I noticed 2 similar looking files in my avast virus chest. One being DSETUP.DLL and DSETUP.dll not sure the difference really confused lol and could use any help

Computer is seeing the dsetup.dll As a virus without avast loaded.

I just noted that Avast decided to isolate this file for me as well. Which is mighty interesting as my computer shut down because I accidentally hit the power switch on the keyboard. So, wtfg Avast?

I am reinstalling EQ shortly to see if that remedies the situation, updates as I do.

edit - Restoring the file then causes EQ to "not start correctly." Which then tags the file as a virus with Avast.

I tried grabbing the new file from the updated server patch, my computer is renaming it.

^ This. Just tell Avast to exclude the file or to ignore .dll scans when programs run and, after restoring dsetup.dll, EQ runs just fine. Saved me a headache of reinstalling EQ and retweaking UIs and all that business. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
