So this morning, after re-installing EVE last night, I get an error message stating The logfile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher\launcher.exe.log' could not be opened: [Errno] Permission Denied:C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher\launcher.exe.log
Any help you could offer would be appreciated |

Probably Windows stopping the client from writing to a file you don't have permissions to write to.
Things are only impossible until they are not. |

As an experiment try changing the permissions of the file in question so anyone can modify it.
EDIT: In Windows 7 if I recall even the admin has files it can't access because the real "root" user (called SYSTEM I believe) is abstracted away and retains the highest permissions.

Ive used the repair tool more post-retribution than I have my entire Eve career.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Alright I did this, and now I get the "Errors Occured" Pop-up, so running the repair tool to see if this fixes it |

Long shot, but can you move your eve client, and your page files to a different HDD ? Preferably one that is fresh .

Actually talked to EVE support and they said to remove the program, delete the entire folder, then re-install everything so I'll let everyone know how that goes in a couple of hours |

I got this, ran the Repair tool.
Launcher doesn't load, but the client itself does. just bypass the launcher and pin the client to the taskbar. |

Restart the computer? lol maybe the log file is in use by a process and as thus cannot be written to.
So either restart the computer or find the process and kill the handle.
