A good friend of mine is trying to re install eve after a long period of being away, and everytime he downloads the file from the "eve client" link to your left he gets a message of "Install files corrupted" at the end.
What could be causing this? Any suggestions are welcome, ranging to virus'ses etc.
He's using win XP, as far as I know. The link is good, he's tried it using different download managers, non download manager etc etc.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

Same problem here, and here is my thread on it.
I filed a bugreport on it, and then a petition as I suddenly realised that would make more sense. Got feedback from bugreport: "bug is unreproducible". Still waiting on petition feedback.
The way I solved it was to copy my install folder from my dad's pc (had been there from ages ago, patched 1st, but works either way) to my pc. In copying one of the files was "corrupted", but copying the same file again made it work!
Someone replied in my thread that you can just keep trying and eventually the file will download correctly but I've tried it plenty of times, and gave up. Thank goodness for long skills!

Hmm that's a slightly different problem, but it's one that I and a few others have been having lately: Random files in the the installation folder seem to corrupt themselves with no warning or any apparent reason.
If you happen to have a copy of the installation (like you were about to patch a separate version for the test server) just copying the relevant file back has been enough to fix it for me. Else you'll have to reinstall, and then you'll probably meet the same problem as the rest of us!

It still said that one was corrupted, am currently downloading the older version (needs patching but should work) posted by CCP Sharkbait here, just to see if a known good file gets corrupted when I download it.

I had the exact problem when I first tried to download the client. Had to experiment using a dedicated download manager but finally got a good copy that way. No problems since.
Good luck to your bud.

I lost a day of my free trial to this. The only way I could get the Installer to work without corrupting the files during unpack was to have my friend burn a DVD for me. Even that file unpacked as corrupt if I copied it to my drive and ran it. It had to be run from the DVD drive to work properly.
I tried 50 downloads. I tried 3 download managers. I used MD5 and SHA keys. None of the regular fixes worked. I even cleared my LocalSettings folder and caches.
I even went the the store to BUY a hardcopy. No luck there either.

I had this problem a while ago, turned out to be bad RAM. Replaced my RAM chips and everything worked fine.
