I am running:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.101026-1503)
I have downloaded the newest "Full Client" from http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/trial/ but when it gets to where it tries to connect, I get nothing.
I've sent an email to mythic, and they told me to go download Warhammer, lmao. Here's the email I sent them:

Hello. I am trying to install the DAOC client, and getting nowhere. I have downloaded the installer, and that part seems to work ok. Then, when I click on the patch client, nothing happens. I would very much like to play the game again... PLEASE HELP - also - your support site is a joke, and VERY VERY FRUSTRATING.
Here is the log output from the patch client (icon looks like an Albion Chalice):

So, I installed the game without an issue on an XP machine I have and copied the folder and bypassed the patcher, and can play now, but is there anything I can do to get it working fully?
I have no firewall. I have uninstalled all Anti-virus for now. I can ping the site without an issue, the only thing that doesn't seem to work is the patcher itself.
I have tried installing from my Epic Edition disks, and upgrading to LOtM via an old patch I found, but nothing seems to get the patcher to connect.
Any help would be great, thanks!
