Under 'Programs and features' in Windows I have two versions of Eve loaded.
One from 2014 and the latest from this year when I re-subed.

Is this normal or should the 2014 version be removed?

There's a new client out that's vastly different from the one from 2014. It has a new process in the process explorer, and installs differently. There's a pretty solid chance that the one you're seeing from 2014 is the old client, and can be safely removed.

Thanks for the humor... lol
I'm surprised that the new launcher didn't clean house when it installed.

I think you'd have been pleasantly surprised if you remember when the client was a little too zealous with 'tidying up' boot.ini Big smile

Make sure to backup your boot.ini file first.
