The Hidden Forest

So whenever I try to launch the game with the client that i got off the get started page, it always pops up saying "Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt." When I go to UIErrors.txt i get a log that says
Warning: file EQLSUI.xml not found in directory UIFiles\default\. Attempting to use file from Default skin.
Couldn't open or read UIFiles\default\EQLSUI.xml
Error reading XML.

I am absolutely perplexed as on what to do and I would appreciate any assistance.

While I can't tell you why that error message pops up, you can safely ignore it as I myself have the same error every time I log on for years now and playing without any issue.

If it helps, the contents of my EQLSUI.xml contents are below so you can manually create the file and pop it in this directory.
I don't know if it's allowed, so apologies if not, but i was thinking mine is still the very basic default i got from this site when i started playing, and making the contents visible means you can see there's nothing malicious.

If you browse into the uifiles\default folder and create the file with the below it should work. Can't promise what else might come up after though hehe, maybe one of the referenced files here also doesn't exist and that'll come up too.

This is from my default UI folder but i created a custom one immediately so this hasn't been altered in any way since the original download.

As i said feel free to delete if this isn't allowed, in which case, i can only suggest download another version, or trying one of the prebuilt UIs in the download sections (which i currently do use and also dont get the error)

I can confirm that this is identical to my file, with one small change.
The <Schema> line at the end.

Mine is in a different order, not that I think it makes any difference.
<Schema xmlns = "EverQuestData" xmlns:dt = "EverQuestDataTypes"/>

Other than that line, all the rest is identical.
Also note, I do not get the error either.
