I'm trying to re-install Eve but it gives me this error every time. Archive extraction failed: 3 I tried using the online down loader and the offline one, the same result. IDK what to do. I can't find a fix. Can anyone help?

Same issue for me, I did a complete hard drive wipe earlier and now having no luck getting eve to install. Any suggestions?

YEAH! I fixed it. I downloaded a download manager called flashget. I used that program with internet explorer(idk if it matters which one u use I just read it somewhere). I downloaded the file from the main Eve download link. Just right click the link and copy it and a window should pop up and you just go with it.

Glad you had some luck! Just tried it and sadly still no good for me, just get the archive extraction failed message again, boooo. Currently trying to download payloads 1 and 2 but not feeling very optimistic! Straight

EDIT: Offline install worked first time, thankfully!
