I read that vista doesn't use boot.ini anymore... Has anyone had issues with Vista not booting?
edit: wild...boot.ini is in the above stated folder ^^. I wonder if this is causing issues!

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!?
Oh my...that's a bug for sure. the slash shouldn't be there I think. Should be the full path or install directory path...wow

Boot from your OS cd. and follow the directions to start Recovery Console. Choose the corresponding number asked of you for your OS is on, normally its #1 Then type:
Attrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini
DEL C:\Boot.ini
BootCfg /Rebuild
Fixboot

i just have to laugh this has to be the single biggest os destructor patch caused by a typo. Anyhow is this affecting only ppl that had classic client and patched it? or its also problem with the premium client as downloaded
the CCP boot.ini file in the eve install folder looks to be a config file for the premium, and it sounds like it only affects people applying that.

I don't know whose idea it was to name a game file after one of the more important system files, but he should probably be kicked hard somewhere were it hurts.
Seriously. You'd think they could have named it eveboot.ini or something.
That's what I said on pg1...hehehehe

So, us whom have had our XP CD's scratched to nothingness, what do we do?
Well, there's always less reputable ways to get an xp cd 
Well duuuh, I'm thinking of downloading a pirate version of XP, and if M$ feel like suing me I'll send the bill to CCP.
Dood...you could just make up a boot.ini file...it's just a text file...as long as you know your harddrive setup...see above post.

NTLDR does not appear in Windows Vista, which divides the functionality of NTLDR between two new components: winload.exe and the Windows Boot Manager. ...
Vista doesn't use boot.ini anymore...see above...

vista wouldn't allow a Microsoft system file to be deleted it will deny the program that asks for access and repair it.
There is no boot.ini in Vista. It uses a boot manager.

We have received petitions about this issue and have alerted the proper staff to investigate. Unfortunately, I don't have further information at this time, but I will provide updates as they become available.
CCP, you need to take down your patch now until it gets this fixed. To your average windows user this will kill their computer and they won't know how to fix the problem.
This is a good idea...before UK wakes up (sort of). Unless someone can recompile the installer and get it out to mirrors quickly...

rofl same issue, XP64, how ******* stupid can you be to program "delete /boot.ini" instead of "delete /Program Files/CCP/EVE/boot.ini" into your installer, prepare for a massive influx of whine about this tomorrow when people switch their PCs on after work/school/waking up.
Yea....it's the one \ before the boot.ini delete command. if they left it out...would have been fine...but then again, the whole name a file after a system file thingy...

My boot.ini seems to be where its supposed to be. Downloaded the patch from ccp server several hours before downtime ended and got the model pack with the background download system.
Weird problem, hope it gets fixed soon 
What OS? Have you rebooted yet?

Quick question--I haven't rebooted yet (as I almost never turn off my laptop). I use GRUB as my bootloader; is boot.ini still required if I'm not using the Windows bootloader?
Been a while since i kinda messed with duel OS, but im pretty sure that it loads, and depending on which OS u load it tells which boot.ini to load.
Pretty sure its a, i wanna load windows, ok use this... kinda thing.
Be safe, make sure your boot.ini is ok!
good post!
