I dont know if anyone else has this but there may be a hidden file called boot.bak which should able to re renamed/copied as boot.ini
you can type "edit boot.bak" in at the command prompt and resave it as boot.ini
i've not tested the restart yet but it should work
hope this helps

Like I said in the other thread before I saw this one, someone better be held responsible for such a stupid lack of proper bloody testing.

Huldradans' solution posted earlier that includes the attrib command for the newly created boot.ini file works.
Vista people are telling XP people that it's not broken without knowing that Vista doesn't use a boot.ini file. I still say that CCP starts using that "hey, we're shutting down a node" pop-up pronto to save the users that have been on since 9pm eastern time checking out the graphics and pew-pew'ing.

Perhaps this will help if the dev's are still reading this thread. I caught wind of this bug right before installing the graphics update.
I sat and watched the patch process and watch the boot.ini file disappear from the director. (I made a back up before hand)
This is from the installation logs.
Output folder: C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
Delete file: \boot.ini <<<<<<------- HELLO!???? OOPS?
Extract: boot.ini... 100%
Extract: manifest.dat... 100%
Extract: resDX9.stuff... 100%
Extract: resDX9Amarr.stuff... 100%
..... and so on

cheers for quality control and testing. :P
how you could not name the ccp boot.ini something like trinity.ini or lest make sure your installer had a specified path to check for the ccp boot.ini instead of deleting windows systems files is almost staggering.

We are trying to help people on our TS server that have installed this but NOT rebooted yet.
If you have guys that installed this and have not rebooted get them before they do in case they are unable to reboot.
People are going to come home from work/school tomorrow and have dead/crippled machines.
CCP: you need to put the word out, don't hide behind your lawyers with your click thru EULA that says your not responsible for damages done.
Tell people before they log out.
I just nuked 3 of 4 of my virtual machines I use for testing software and had to recover boot.ini files.
2 would no longer boot and 1 threw errors at boot.
1 was unaffected.
Use your damned popup before you kill thousands of peoples computers.

Again we get to see how and why CCP devs are the most incompetent in the industry. Maybe they should actually start taking classes on how to actually do programming. So far I've found over 10 bugs in less then one hour in the game and only undocking 3 times LOL. I'd love to see a Dev try to say they have a quality control department. LMAO

LOL. LMAO.
You're a ******* ******.
As it goes, those who can't create anything are always first to criticize those who create but sometimes make mistakes.

What's alittle ini deletion between friends?
For those of us technically capable its nothing big. However those people out there who are not, this could be a large issue with. As a software developer myself, I have to laugh at CCP for making one very big mistake, you never screw up your end users machine. This is why we actually have QUALITY CONTROL in software teams. Clearly it is evident that alot of people were not doing their jobs because of this.

I think the specifics are this will only affect
those running XP(any version) (and perhpas any previous version of windows)
those who installed eve onto the same partition as their OS
I think that's it basically.

As a long term idea, do you think it might be an idea to change this to eveboot.ini instead of it matching a critical system file name?

hey.. upon instaall, and a restart my xp wouldnt boot.
'missing or corrupt hal.dll file'
luckily i had a dual boot with osx on so i did some research... found a possible solution for this problem.. (it seems to be working for me)
boot from his xp cd and press R to repair, follow the instructions on screen untill you see a command line. this fixes the error with a;
' missing/corrupt{backslash}system32{backslash}hal.dll '
(i am using a mac keyboard and cant find the backslash key for xp).
1. Then type in ' bootcfg {space} /rebuild'
2.Press 'y'
3.Type in the version of xp that he has - ie; 'Windows XP Home Edition' (or proffessional if he has that)
4.Leave the next box blank (just press enter)
5.Type 'exit' to quit the setup and restart his pc.
6.Use the first item on the boot menu if it appears.
and Hopefully it should fix it, it seems to be working ok for me 'touch wood'.
I hope this works... Oli.
send me a eve mail if this works for anyone else..

Vista doesn't use the boot.ini, so you -should- be fine. Reboot at your own risk, or, drink coffee and never turn your PC off again.. it won't crash, it's windows.

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.

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
