Spell Level 255 and eqlaunc.exe problems.

[Simreal]

I have a couple issues I could use some help with. I have spent hours searching the forums for answers but haven't really made any progress. The first issue is that when configured the server I used PEQ Rev 1751.

I have found that unless I use the spells files downloadedto play on the P99 server many of the spells say they require level 255. I have seem several other posts about the level 255 spell requirement and none of the suggested fixes solved my problem. Once I loadded the spell file provided by the P99 team to play on their server my spells seem to work fine.

I'd like to be able to let played play on my server without having to update the spells file. Maybe that is hoping for too much but if it's possible I would appreciate any advice you can offer.

The second issue I am dealing with is that the eqlaunch.exe file wont run on any machine I have installed it on. This is one of the files found in the EQEMU Rev 1887 sources. I have tried using the file in both the normal and bots versions of this source. When I manually run the file I get the error "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem". I can manually open zones.exe <zonename> or just run multiple copies of zone.exe and let the world server manage them dynamically. Is this supposed to be the case? or should I be using the eqlaunch.exe to manage the zones?
