After the most recent patch my SISI stopped working, so I just deleted it and went to re-install fresh. It started installing to the default EVE TQ directory on it's own (with no prompting for desired directory, literally all I clicked was "NEXT->" once and it was the only option besides "Cancel"), upon cancelling the installation it deleted TQ.

This has happened twice so far after reinstalling TQ again after the first time (so I kind of fail the negative feedback response test thing lol).

Should I bug this or?

[Edit: I know this is kind of a pain to go through, but can someone else test to verify that this is an actual issue and not just me doing something stupid? I'm pretty sure that I'm doing everything correctly, I'm very technically competent and this is not the first time I've used test by far. Used the following for the install: the windows online installer . I have not tested with the offline install yet, will get to that after I finish installing TQ again. Also will do a FRAPS of a failed install if necessary.]

Funnily this happened to me yesterday but I'm not sure I didn't click straight through the "select location" page without reselecting. I'll be installing everything again over the next few hours so I'll get back later.

From what I saw it lacked a select location page.

Frak! Same for me! I have to reinstall TQ again! Damn, Damn, Damn.

Once you have installed SiSi on the wrong location (your main eve folder), you receive the incompatible version message. To resolve this issue you have to download and run the SiSi Launcher

Okay I think we can call this a bug, not user error. Can a dev take a look at this please?

Can you let us know when it gets fixed please? Kind of too scared to install SISI until I know it's not going to kill TQ for me ATM.
