I'm running windows 8.1, and it won't let me install the eve client because 'archive extraction failed: 3'.

This message is displayed when either the downloaded client is corrupted or there is not enough space on your hard disk to extract the client files.

The download will typically be saved onto the same hard disk as where your operating system is located, no matter what destination you specified. As such make sure the drive with your OS on it has enough space for the client. Once the client is extracted it will be moved to the end destination you specified during the installation procedure.

If you do have enough space then its most likely a corrupted download. Try downloading the client again, preferably when not using a wireless connection.
