Can you try to form questions in semi grammatically correct english. I seriously do not understand what you are trying to say.
Regardless, I'll make some statements related to some things in your post.
1. Latest Release of ISXEQ2 is 20070816.0013
2. Per the version, this was released for the everquest2.exe from August 16, 2007.
3. Auto-running the extension is a bad thing, always set up to do so manually
4. You should have loaded the 'Default' option on 8/16 as instructed by the stealth patch warning.
5. Providing you have the everquest2.exe from 8/16 and you try to load any version of the extension, it will patch to the correct version of ISXEQ2.
6. If all else fails, get the everquest2.exe from 8/16 (isxeq2.twonk.net), then download isxeq2 per the initial setup instructions located at http://www.isxgames.com/ . The same way you initially acquired the game.
If you have done everything listed above, please provide detailed instructions of why after completing #6 you are still unable to load.

I feel auto loading the extension is a bad thing, unless you really need to spawn sessions automatically.
The reason being is when there is a forced patch you can patch ones using the 'Default' option (or just loading the game outside of IS), and then continue to log in using the no patch option. Sometimes the extension will cause a CTD when there is a version conflict (before the new version is released). Loading it manually, you can still play under IS, use scripts that don't require the extension, and in general behave as normal until ISXEQ2 is updated.
Not everyone will agree with me on this point, but in my experience auto loading the extension causes more trouble than it is to type 'ext isxeq2' when you're ready to start loading scripts that require it.
Regarding Patches:
Any time there is a forced patch, I try to make a post as soon as I've confirmed the patch will be forced. I made a post on the 16th here:
http://www.isxgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1557
Most of the time when there is a forced patch we get a client version mis-match warning from the client. However on some occasions like last week, you can still log on, however the game is unplayable. We treat both conditions the same way.
You patch your game the day it is required, and you wait patiently for the new extension to be released.
If for some reason you are unable to patch the day of the forced update. You run the full patch update 'default' or via the normal loading method, then obtain the back dated everquest2.exe from the day you should have patched. This back dated everquest2.exe is generally available on twonk, and when it is not, you can usually get help on IRC. Doing the full patch is REQUIRED because often times there are many support, ui, and other files you need in addition to the exe file in order for the game to be stable.
I believe all of this is spelled out in the FAQ and on the Wiki, though the information may not be clearly consolidated.

Pygar,
I just misunderstood what you meant by Stealth Patch Warning message. I just wanted to make sure that i didnt miss a message of something like do not autoload isexeq2 because sony can now detect it during login since the stealth patch...
Thanks for taking the time to clear that up for me.
