I bought today The Shadow Odyssey.
I put in the CD and all it say is:

I use Vista and when i click on the install or what you call it in English is say:

Select new program features to add or select currently installed features to remove.
Reinstall all program features installed by the previous setup
Remove all installed features.

I thought it would be the first one to click on, but nothing speciell happends?
What am i doing wrong.

When i click on the first one i get this:
Support files and optional voice over
EverQuest II

Thought i should click next after that and when i do that:

I get The installShield Wizard is modifying EverQuest II: The shadow Odyssey.

But after a few sec it change to:
InstallShield Wizzrd has finished performing maintenance operations on EverQuest II: The Shadow Odyssey.

But it didnt download anything.

Been trying to restart my computer and enter the game but still havent installed anything. I use the first cd: Disc 1 that is.

Hard to explain when my english isnt the best but would love to get some help about this problem if you understand my question.

Cant get it installed is my problem.

Do you already have Everquest II on your computer, or is this a brand new install?

Let's sidestep the whole install.

Go to your Station Account and sign in. http://eq2.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=19;mid=1229531555234605516;num=0;page=1

Click Enter Activation Code

Enter the CD code from the Shadow Odyssey disks.

Then start EQII and the whole thing will patch (might take some time)

Yep you should be good to go, just run the patcher for the game as you normally would, and your download should be rather small since you downloaded a majority of the files on the day the expansion was released.

Once you're in the game, you will have to type /claim to get your mount.

Based on what you copied into your post, you are all done. Your Station Account now recognizes you having The Shadow Odyssey (TSO). At this point, your physical CDs will be useful if you ever need to reload the game onto a new hard drive.

By activating TSO, your update patcher will now read the information for the expansion and download it into your existing installed computer.
