I was getting the same error in Win XP, but I switched to Win98SE (have a dual boot) and the patcher worked flawlessly. I am going to read the log file and see if I can come up with a zip file that people can use to manually patch the files needed to play without the 1017 error.
Make sure you installed the patcher in to your Everquest folder, not the one that comes up as the default.
