Subject: ISO: Downloading Decal on Vista for the Computer Illiterate Guide
Hello there, I am a complete mental when it comes to computers. I was wondering if there was a guide to downloading decal for Vista 64 bbit systems. Keep in mind, that I have no clue as to what I am doing. Preferably, it should be easyly understood by 3 year olds, from a third world country village, that have never seen an electrical device before.
If someone has done this, or is willing to walk me through it. I would be eternally gratefull.

Thank you

1) download decal from here or here (does not require directx 9 download

Ok.. that's how you download Decal on Vista.

Oh, you want help installing it too?

2) Make a directory called c:\games (or somewhere other than your default directory)
3) Run the Decal Setup program
4) When prompted for where to install it, chose the directory you made in 2 followed by \decal.. i.e. c:\games\decal

that should just about do it. btw, it's better to install AC to the same directory that you made in 2.. i.e. c:\games\AC or something like that.

I have downloaded and installed decal. Now I get an error when trying to start AC with decal running

acclient.exe - Bad Image
C:\\Windows\system32\d3dx9_30.dll is either not designed to run on this Windows or it contains an error... etc

acclient has stopped working...

I have downloaded and Installed DirectX 9 at least 10 times now.... For some reason Decal doesnt show it as installed...

So need to make this easyer to install for end-users... Seems it isnt easy for anyone... Let alone someone who isnt good with computers

Ive followed this....Multiple times....

You need to install the DirectX 9.0c update that Decal requires. It should have been installed along with Decal, but you can get it here:
DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

If that doesn't work, use this:
DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009)

This is my decaldev post.... http://forums.acdev.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5181

First off, you should install to c:\games or somewhere other than the default when installing on vista 64... (one IMPORTANT piece that you left out)..

Second.. you need to download the latest directx 9.0c redistributable and install it. Even when it says that you already have it installed, reinstall it. Your directX is WAY out of date.

You can get the latest here.. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0cf368e5-5ce1-4032-a207-c693d210f616

And no.. decal doesn't suck.. Vista sucks. Obviously however you're installing the March 2009 redistributable, you're not installing it correctly. Perhaps you need to run the cleaner, then download from the link that I just gave and reinstall DirectX 9, then download the decal installer from the link I gave above, which doesn't require directX.. and install from that.
