Ok, so after the patch i attempted to do the following:

Launch my client and let it do whatever it wanted to do to update itself, this ended up in my game files becoming corrupt. I ran the repair tool and this worsened the problem.

I just downloaded a fresh copy of the client from the EVE Website and installed it. After attempting to launch the game i am met with the following error:

"The program or feature "\??\C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher\launcher.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available."

I cannot launch the Launcher.exe either it says it is not compatible with 64bit windows.


Running the repair tool on a fresh UNTOUCHED install produces this error after i try to close it when it tells me the repair was successful:

An error occurred

See the logfile 'C:\Users\XXXX\Appdata\Local\Temp\nsgDA2F.tmp\repair.exe.log' for details

Before reinstalling i attempted to delete some essential files from my EvE directory and run the repair tool, the repair tool reported as being successful yet the files i deleted were not replaced.

Try run it by using compatibility mode.

Right click the .exe , select Properties from the menu.

Select the Compatibility tab

In there, you can try run it as if it was running under xp etc.
Make sure you check the "run as administrator" checkbox further down the page.


It will probably not work, but, no harm in trying ^^

Have you tried turing it off and on again?

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

Did you try the troubleshoot compatibility thing? Right click on the launcher.exe? I have the same OS and not having any problems.

Yeeee!

This worked until the patch tonight, back to not being able to patch.

Win 7 64-bit here as well with no issues.

Logged in as a user that is a member of the local Administrators group.

Deleted my cache folders completely before patching (standard procedure for me).

Windows 7 has some hard restrictions to some folders (like Program Files) that cause all kinds of problems unless you are logged in as a user that is a member of the local Administrators group.

I dunno what else to suggest but I know it's not an issue with Windows 7 64-bit itself.

If you have windows firewall on sometiems that causes issues with launching eve online for whatever reason.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Although I dont know how to fix this (other than maybe trying to run the launcher in admin mode which causes me no end of agrro with alot of programmes)

This is the correct approach to have about the launcher not working

I have the boxes checked to only show the launcher if there is a patch and it still shows every time on my Windows 7 64 bit Professional laptop.
