So I downloaded that 52.3M file from here, and now it asks me, where I wan't to install EVE Online. When I show the path to my EVE directory, it warns me there are files there, which will be deleted. I don't wanna delete my EVE Online client though.

I had the same concern. Smile Here's how I solved it:

My old launcher was installed to: "D:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"

So what I did was to create a folder called "NewLauncher" under the CCP folder above, and I installed the new launcher to that. I ended up with a shortcut that points to:

"D:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\NewLauncher\Launcher\evelauncher.exe"

Seems to work fine, and both launchers can be installed at the same time (though the old one won't let you launch the game anymore.)

I just replied to another player who needs to install the new launcher; it might help you out. Here is a link to that reply.
