This is a repeat of your old thread where none of us could figure why you and you alone can not install Decal.

Since there is no one here that can help you, my suggestion is go here:
http://forums.acdev.org/phpBB2/
and work with the Decal developers. If they can not help you then you will just have to do without.

have you tried runnig the program from the site, and not download it?

had some people on hg that couldnt install, and running it from the site worked for them.

and hopefully you are installing from decaldev.com, and not some third party site..

the problem the above people had, was thet they would not get the microsoft eula for the directx upgrade part of the install( the three steps on the page)...from downloading it..

Uninstall everything from the add/remove programs in your conroll pannel first
Put all the unused in the trash can and delete. Reinstall after the new is loaded and runs.

P.S. with a high speed line your not even looking at an hour of time or was it two I was doing other stuff at the time.

as I said before.. the line that troubles me the most is...

(12/31/2006 8:03:16 PM) Downloading 'decal.msi' from 'http://core.decaldev.com/files/2960/decal.msi' to ''

which basically says it's trying to download the decal.msi file from our server, and putting it.... nowhere.

That second set of quotes is usually a destination path, and is usually %temp%. I have no idea why your download isn't working, but it has something to do with that path is my guess.

Why not try downloading the decal.msi directly?

Put http://core.decaldev.com/files/2960/decal.msi in your browser and save it to your desktop and then run it from there.

I had problems with one computer and after copying the decal.msi from another PC it worked fine.

Good luck.

Oh.. I see the problem.

You need 8 more posts.

Go to your favorite server boards and introduce yourself. Or message me on the ACDev Forums with the answer.

Looks like I am the only one having trouble with Decal....When I installed windows messenger yesterday, it half way crashed and restored back to an earlier time and I lost all my favorites in internet explorer....I was hoping maybe the lost file need to instal decal.msi had been restored as well, but alas, it wasn't. Bahhh

Well I guess I had to be creative,,,,. I got the same "error" on my 2 networked home computers..3/4 through download it just cuts off".. This is what I did.. I went to another computer (work) used the direct address of the Decal fle, downloaded it their.. copied it to CD, came home and instaled (with no problems) on both computers.. Sigh.. not the tech help I wanted, but it did work..

just as a note .. this is the same error that happened for the last release.. to lots of people.. that is one reason the Decal utility.exe was created.. (BTW that program needs to be updated or removed from Decal Home page.)

well I have tried downloading this file before and it didnt work but this morning it finally did. I dont know what I did, and as far as I know I didnt do anything, but I think this file contained the file I was missing...Thanks for all your help. I also had all thle required files on the left of decal page before I downloaded this....Mar
