Essentially, because some asshole decided to name a file called "boot.ini". If they had named it literally any other combination of characters, it would not have caused such an error.

(Well, I don't know, maybe XP has some other critical files it doesn't bother to write-protect.)

But clearly, the Eve Online team isn't testing this stuff properly before sending it out. They might be using a different process to test their update that doesn't require the installer, but that's meaningless. No test they do that differs from the typical customer's experience means anything.
