The exact same thing happened to me. I went to the decal website (www.decaldev.com) and ran the program called "DecalUtil" from the downloads. It works fine, now.

You run decalutil before decal it updates decal for you (do not hit update from decal after that or it wont work).

http://vnboards.ign.com/ac_utilities/b5432/96230187/p1/?23

is where good info is posted on how to make it run

I was successful! but was frustrating at first.

To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: V. 2.050727
Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework



EH?

EDIT: THAT IS WHAT I GET ONCE I CLICK THE DECALUTIL BUTTON TO D/L IT

install .NET Framework: V. 2.050727

[.NET 2.0 Framwork in other words]

If you already have the framework installed, then you need to make sure you SAVE DecalUtil.exe to your Decal folder, and do NOT attempt to "run" it from the server... choose the "Save" option, or right-click the link and choose the "Save Target As" option or similar from the menu.

So i don't think i did this right..
I clicked the DecalUtil button, clicked save, went to desktop folder,program folder, decal, opened it, saved decalutil in.. clicked ok, it made a ping sound, and then i checked that folder and it's there, do i have to run it or something? cuz i still get the same errors with decal..

Yes.. you run DecalUtil now... from the Decal folder.

It's a program.

It's THE program to use to download XML files now.

You will no longer be using the Update button in Decal until we can get the problems with it figured out.

For now, use DecalUtil every month when you would normally click Update.

Also.. make sure you saved it to the RIGHT folder..

"C:\Program Files\Decal" and "C:\Program Files\Decal 3.0" are 2 totally separate things.

Decal 3.0 installs to the second path by default... if you still have a C:\Program Files\Decal folder, I'd say you most likely didn't do a clean uninstall of decal following the information in the ACDev forums... that folder shouldn't exist anymore, unless you modified where you installed Decal 3.0 to, and told it to install to that path.
