Hey guys,

I just upgraded from windows 7 to 10, and got this exception error:

http://pastebin.com/114VCdgL


I would post the txt here, but the preview is saying "No HTML...." allowed..

This is preventing me from updating my game.



Intel i7-4790k 4.0ghz
8gb ram
770 GTX


Edit: Looked like going into the programdata folder, right clicking on CCP folder, and properties security, adding "everyone" with all settings worked.

lol I just saw your edit
So I guess

8.IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ProgramData\\CCP\\EVE\\SharedCache\\resfileindex_prefetch_md5'

was the right angle

at least this will be searchable in the forum


cause is: programdata is ReadOnly to existing data for normal user BUT you can create a new folder, and as owner you got full control
so when upgrade to w10 you lost ownership.

either grant yourself control (everyone is ugly, but works) (also works fine if you have multiple account non admin using eve)
or move the folder, then COPY it back, will reset the ACL to the default ProgramData

or the launcher could be UAC Aware and do stuff automatically, like self elevating or at least popin up the UAC consent and make sure ACLs were set ok ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530410.aspx <- debatable uac justifications)
