I'm not doing this right. I think I'm copying things to the wrong folder but I'm not sure where everything is supposed to go. The migrator tells me that everything looks good, I updated all the plugins, and then I boot up the game and the plugins are not showing up in game. I can't get class windows to open. It's probably something simple and obvious, but this type of thing is not intuitive to me.
I apologize in advance to anyone who thinks they have the patience to help me. It's not my intention to make anyone want to rend their saintly robes. I'm just more kinesthetic than cerebral. I hope this is simple to fix.

make sure you're actually launching next - your downloads show you downloaded them just fine. the migrator just moves your *settings* it doesn't move any plugins or whatnot.
I would restart your computer and start there.
well check your plugin tab, that they actually downloaded to this install.
then
/plugin pluginname to load a pluginif you did the migration correctly, it migrates all your files including your macroquest.ini file with the plugin settings you had previously. so perhaps you were correct in thinking that dind't go as you planned
no that is not true. mq2 is down, MQNext does not say that.
eq patched today. (last night - the 9th)
You're using IsBoxer or WinEQ and didn't elevate.
Yep, so make sure you update Next if you updated EQ (Next was updated right after that).

I did the migration to NEXT and such but am now getting these errors and not sure what I need to change/adjust. I did a cursory google search for them but the returns didn't help. Any ideas?

this looks like you installed next over top of your mq2 directory or are manually copying files
did you do either of those things?
you can't copy files around, they're not compatible
next needs its own install directory - you don't want to install over mq2, and you don't want mq2 to install over your next install.

Hey!! Thanks for the quick turn on the response. So exactly what I did was made a new directory, let it build with the patcher, then attempted to run the migration tool. When I did the right click and run with powershell, however, it just put up a command prompt screen for about .5 seconds then closed and would not give me the installer section that your video showed. At that point I did indeed do manual copying of stuff from MQ2 to MQ2Next folder. That's what I get for thinking I could work around.
So the next question becomes what do I do if the migration tool doesn't run as intended???
well you will want to determine why powershell isn't working for you.
do you have an up-to-date current windows install?
and saying "i didn the migration" when you didn't =p tsk tsk tsk
Start -> Run -> cmd
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “C:\Path\To\Migrator\MacroQuestMigrator.ps1”
Tell me what that says when you run it.

it goes without saying (but I'll say anyway) I do not have a high level of basic computer literacy. I sent a PM as I don't want to congest this thread with m ignorance more than I already have. Thank you guys for being so responsive to help an old hat.
