Since this appears to be the current launcher thread-- I'm having an issue where, if I start the launcher, it spawns a bunch of update.exe processes that eat all the memory on my laptop and kill it. Only way to get out is to push and hold the power button. Computer is a lenovo thinkpad running windows 7.
I discovered this when trying to update an old EVE install (last patched in January). I've got no dice on the repair tool, either-- it downloaded 1.some gigabytes of stuff, and then said my two or three free gigabytes in the partition weren't enough space to patch. And I found this out because the mac update means you can't launch duality on the mac anymore (fake edit: yes you can, using the stuff in this post: http://warp-to-sun.tumblr.com/post/55439633538/fix-for-os-x-duality-issues )

Tried it, this is what caused the above behavior for me.

This is all based on an assumption; could you provide some logs or screenshots of what's happening?
Here are screenshots -- I'm having a hard time on logs, because I'm not sure where I'd look. http://imgur.com/a/hk6cp
When I found this thread, I downloaded the new launcher file you linked. I renamed my old launcher shortcut so it'd still be around, and put the launcher.exe file you linked in my EVE folder (pictured in album).
Since then, I've just double clicked on it. As you can see, my drive doesn't have a lot of space-- this computer dual-boots from Linux. To get the behavior in the last screenshot, I, go to the Program Files(x86)\CCP\EVE Online folder and then double click on the launcher file (the new one, 2.1.xxxxx). It then spawns a bunch of processes with that file's name (apologies for them being hidden behind my Paint window; it was hard to take a screenshot once the processes started eating memory). Each one takes ~2-3 k of memory, and they start spawning and repeatedly spawn once the launcher is launched.
As I said earlier, I tried running the repair tool but it said I was out of space. It had downloaded about 1.8 gigs of stuff (I started with ~3.5 free) and was installing when it presented me with an out of space error. I'm now going to try clearing off another partition and increasing the space on my computer. After that, I'll post whether it resolved my issues.

Expanding available space didn't do it, repair tool ran into an error at the very end, and trying to uninstall EVE via the control panel spawned a million copies of some other .exe. Er, any advice for how to get the client working again? I'm a little scared to just download an installer and try  .
