Yes, I applied the premium patch and now my windows boot.ini file is gone. The patch appears to delete it during the patching process instead of EVE's boot.ini.
First three lines of patch details:
Output folder: C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
Delete file: \boot.ini
Extract: boot.ini... 100%
What's up with that!?
CCP hates windows I guess :tinfoil:

I knew this patchday couldn't go off without a hitch!
And yes system restore fixes it, if you can even get to system restore.

Wow, this is bad.
The reason why this didnt get passed QA:
The sisi version didn't do this, this is something they just decided to put in on the live patch for unknown reasons, I wonder what the reason for deleting the boot.ini in the CCP folder was in the first place.
I bet it was cosmetic, if the boot.ini file wasn't going to be used anymore, there is little harm in a 2kb file sitting in the base EVE directory.
Actually this happened to me like 2 days before the patch went live on my laptop with SISI, I had no idea it was related to EVE though.
