I also got this error. A link to the manual download page is provided by the installer when it fails.

You have to download the Executable, Payload 1, and Payload 2 and put them all in the same folder, then run the executable. The folder you put these 3 things in does not have to be the folder you intend to install EVE to (and probably, CANNOT be the same folder).

Did that, and that's what's failing. Had it in a different location folder, and all files in the same one.

I still cannot access the EvE game; the update process freezes up at (6/7), and i subsequently lose all network connection:

I have to reboot at this stage.

Running the repair.exe tool does NOT work either: it freezes up at (3/7), and i again lose all network connection. Rebooting is the only way out.

I run a solid dual core win XP (sp3), with a very recent NVIDIA geforce graphics card. RAM a-plenty.

Today: Launcher now runs but loops forever trying to do some update.

No amount of Adminstrator settings, compatibility settings, repair tool, and rebooting is making any difference. The game clinet itself still crashes.

Guess I get to re-install EVE from scratch. Again.

Just a lil hint for you CCP, when you go to push out entirely new technology, like a Launcher, to replace an existing system, DON'T REMOVE THE EXISTING SYSTEM UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE NEW ONE WORKS POST DEPLOYMENT!

A significant amount of user headache could of been bypassd if functionaing patches had been assembled as alternatives.

Re-installing from scratch produces the same result: the game crashes before I even get to a log in screen. The game itself is broken outright, it would seem. Win 7 64 bit.

I'm glad I set a long skill. Something tells me I shoudl of set an even longer one. >.<;

As of 01:40 GMT (14th March) we released a new Launcher (Version 1.09) and a new repair tool to resolve some issues that players have been experiencing during the initial deployment of Crucible 1.5.

Those of you experiencing issues with the Launcher or updating the game, please follow these steps:

1.Reboot the computer.
2.Navigate to the EVE client install folder.
3.Run the Repair tool until it finshes.
4.Run eve.exe from the same folder

We ask people to reboot their computer to make sure that there are no locked files or other processes running while running the repair tool. This would otherwise interfere with the repair tool and prevent the client from updating.

Please let us know if this resolves the issues you are experiencing.

Have tried repair ^ reloaded launcher etc etc etc, just keeps looping and saying incompatible version.

Hi, can you try installing a full copy of the Launcher into your EVE client directory via the following: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/350962/EVEOnlineLauncherInstaller.exe and running eve.exe afterwards?

I can safely say that it's always been like this, you can get mixed spawns with lots of different types/classes of NPC's though they're the same faction.
