Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat - Launcher crashing on startup with error about OpenGL (usually when running bootcamp)

Launcher crashing on startup with error about OpenGL (usually when running bootcamp)

SOLUTION: go to your eve directory, usually c:\eve, and delete opengl32sw.dll or rename it to something else like opengl32sw.dll.bak. relaunch launcher.

This is solution for Error: Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat etc
Install a driver providing OpenGL 2.0 or higher, or, if this is not possible, make sure the ANGLE Open GL ES2.0 emulation libraries are available in the application executable’s directory or in a location listed in PATH

How to access launcher directory if not installed yet? Getting same error when trying to install under boot camp on macbook pro. All drivers are up to date.

Update- Now Working
Re-downloaded installer after downloading the resource files and put launcher into folder with resources as described. Installer fired up then went to directory in C:EVE to rename that BS file listed above.

This worked for me on a Bootcamp Win10 installation. Thanks!
