Macroquest2.exe must be in the same directory as mq2main.dll and your plugin DLLs.

It sounds like you didn’t compile MQ2. If you downloaded the zip and simply ran MacroQuest2.exe you will get this error because the DLLs don't exist until you build the project.

I suggest that you read the manual and the messages stickied in the help forum. If you can't read or are too lazy to read... delete MQ2 now and save us the trouble of telling you what a stupid lazy fuck you are.
