So -

Open launcher, boot up client, log in normally, etc etc..

Go back to open the launcher again, and I'm told that the launcher cannot update while an existing copy of evefile.exe is in use; I have to close the client, re-start the launcher successfully, and then quickly open two copies of the client if I want to run two at once.

So far I know of two other people who have the same issue - one I spoke to ingame, one is the poster here.

Windows 7 64-bit, i5 2.4 GHz core.

Same here.

I made a petition they responded "that they were aware of this issue and were working on a bug fix"

So i found a work around,
-go to your option panel in the launcher
-uncheck the "close launcher on start up" box
-click on the play button as many time as you got accounts

Work fine for me , hope it helps

Glad to know they're aware of it, and yeah, that's the workaround I've been using.
