I'm trying to install decal but it keeps getting stuck at this point. It is trying to download the directx components I would assume but it is unable to do so. All my firewalls are turned off and I've even tried using someone elses internet connection at their house. Could the servers be down or am I doing something wrong? I've tried installing it using both the decal 3 setup.exe and the dxwebsetup.exe that I downloaded from acdev.org

Well I was able to install using this link that I found: http://core.decaldev.com/files/2960/decal.msi
Not sure if it's the most recent version but I should have the latest direct x anyways.

Now it lists no surrogate besides Decal Fileservice and there are red Xs in every box in the decal window

If everything shows red X's after install, you can try using the DecalUpdate Utility in the install directory, it *MIGHT* help with the red X's. It's worth a shot.

ive decided it has to do with having mutiple 'dual clients' and not having all of the files in each folder updated.

I've run ac and decal with dual client, and even if I have NOT updated the second client I didn't have issues with installation or updating. I've had issues with updating the memloc's thru the client but using the DecalUtility in the install folder. My guess is there is a dependancy someplace like .net or similiar req'd things to make it run.

I've found the fix for this problem!
Instead of using the link your using, try this one
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=371f6ba4-2737-46ab-b275-0dcab31459b5&displaylang=en
Worked for me.

Its becouse microsoft bastages made the direct a Windows Geniune Advantage download.
So its not actualy decal related, but it would be nice if the devs wouldnt try and wrap "requirments" into there install.

Do you have Windows Installer 3.1?
http://www.decaldev.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=9dZX9aEkEGw%3d&tabid=53&mid=365
I downloaded that, and it worked fine.

Here's what I did:
Install this instead of the standard Decal package:
http://core.decaldev.com/files/2960/decal.msi
It doesn't included DirectX.
Then install this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en&Hash=4UwzmJt0DDrKr93bAPIRgGjyqLew IxNOc%2bl9i4CJ9RPcOWaBOE2Dsjtx6%2fVXX6T4%2feepObpF72hH2zfYADMnzA%3d%3d
This is DirectX 9.0c.
You should be good to go.
The problem appears to be that the Decal installer tries to download DirectX, but can not because it gets blocked by Microsoft's Genuine Advantage, thus erroring out during install.
I did this and it works fine.

Last week I reinstalled xp and everything in order to switch to raid. I found that the msi at the decal devs homepage also kept asking for direct x and attepting to download it (even though I had direct x installed. Fortuanly I found an older decal msi (same version) on my old hard drive. That older msi installed fine. Something is messed with the curent msi on the decal dev site.
