New install won't patch / No expansions owned

[Eyecue]

Yes, this is the very guide I followed. No patching of any kind occurred. I even performed a clean re-install. Somehow the launcher just doesn't recognize that I have the game files I'm deducing based on the "0 of 0 expansions". Still don't know why I don't even see a server list when I logon.

I have Eqemulator account from years ago, tho I know it is no longer required. Whether I have Eqemu or not, I should be able to just use the Launch Platinum, yes?
