Issue Resolved: Payloads were not the correct size

I am attempting to use the offline installer. I have downloaded the two payload files, which are 2,097,777 kb and 2,097,154 kb, respectively. When I attempt to run the installer executable, (564012), I am able to select a destination, and it attempts to install, but fails and says "Archive Extraction Failed: 3".

The payloads and installer executable are in the same folder. I've tried installing to a sub-folder within the tree containing the payloads, and I have tried installing to a folder located in a completely separate location.

I don't know if it matters, but I am running the installation, and have the installation files located in, a different partition than my windows installation. The file system is NTFS, so I think I have the full payload files, IE no conflicts with downloading due to file size.

I hope you brought enough ammunition.

Simple things first, you have enough free space on your C/D drive? NTFS can handle very large files, it would be a problem if you were running FAT, but installing EVE wouldn't be your first concern :)

If your C drive space is 3GB or less, then I suggest looking into to changing your windows profile location in Windows to a drive with more space (likely your D: drive) Google is a good place to search on how to do this. Other games do this aswell.

Even though you install EVE to your D drive it still takes up some space on your c Drive (in your profile location).

I've also heard people having trouble installing while running spybot and other anti virus/malware programs.

Apparently, even though my browser had said the download was complete, I didn't get the full file when downloading the payloads. I hope you brought enough ammunition.
