What is all this rubbish about junction points? I play just fine with two clients running from the same executable on the same path with the same working directory, on Windows XP. (Obviously cache and settings are separate but that's because they're different accounts.) Fixed window is handy (makes alt-tabbing a lot quicker) but junction points are just not necessary.

As of Incursion 1.0.0, EVEMon is no longer necessary to play EVE in a borderless window. This option is called, "Fixed Window" and is found in the "Display and Graphics" tab, under the "Windowed or Fullscreen" dropdown menu.
When you switch to the "Fixed Window" option the first time, you may need to manually adjust your window size to your monitor's full resolution. Tsabrock 05:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

MacOS: Manual symlinks or Clonemaker ?
About MacOS symlink based clones in Crucible 1.5+ Out of curiosity, I then tried to create another Clone using Transgaming's Clonemaker, and found it produces a significantly different result, compared to the Duplicating EVE Online.app with Symlinks instructions:
• Clonemaker will create a "shallow path" clone, with the Contents subdirectory you'd expect to find at:
/Applications/EVE\ Online\ Clone.app/Contents/Resources/EVE\ Online.app/Contents
instead lodged at:
/Applications/EVE\ Online\ Clone.app/Contents
Nested inside, Frameworks/, PkgInfo, Resources/ and Version.plist are indeed symlinks (and point where you'd expect them to), while Info.plist and MacOS/ (with cider inside) are actual copies.
Not sure which option is the most efficient/foolproof, between the Clonemaker routine or a slightly modified version of the (manual) Duplicating EVE Online.app with Symlinks instructions present in the wiki, but it seems worth deciding, if only for consistency's sake, and to maybe avoid further confusion ? — The preceding unsigned comment was left by Don Temujin (talk • contribs) 23:03, 13 March 2012
