Lord Douchebag Fusion Death Inc. Circle-Of-Two 0	Posted - 2014.01.05 17:36:00 - [1] - Quote After finally installing Eve HQ (v.2) I had to scrap my install, and install clean. I've got TONS of fittings that I diligently backed up, but have no idea how to get to them. Does ANYONE have any idea how to extract fittings from the old database?

There should be a setting to select the old database

If you're ok with having a clean install without your old settings, just delete everything in %AppData%/EveHQ and install the newest version again. So I deleted the folder to get install to work, but I can't find option to "select" the old fittings.bin file instead of the newer fittings.json HOW do I get the wizard to pop up again and POINT my fittings database to the older one???

Might be worth looking for support from EveHQ themselves. Try here: http://forum.battleclinic.com/index.php/board,257.0.html There is an old topic here: not sure if this is gonna help http://forum.battleclinic.com/index.php?topic=152573.0;Import-Fittings-from-old-EveHQ-file

The old binary file format was phased out in 2.13, due to them being very intolerant of changes and hard to debug when there was an issue. There is no support in 2.13 to read the old formats instead of the new format, as there is a settings conversion utility that runs externally on startup if old format files are detected. If you are using 2.11 (or older), you can use Rob's advice and do a clean install...but that is only if you want to delete everything. If you want to try and salvage the settings,fits, etc... you can try the information in the link below, update to 2.12 and then install 2.13 (which will update cleanly). http://forums.evehq.net/chat/work-around-for-evehqsettings-bin-corruption-between-2-11-and-2-12 EveHQ is a multi-faceted character application for EVE Online.
