Please try it out and provide feedback. This one should be better about removing itself for downgrading. If it fails, please use the decal reg cleaner and report any issues.

so who's the next lucky victi.... I mean... participant?

I don't click random links ending in .EXE unless they involve offers of monkeys that dance on my desktop.

Also,
Error: An error occurred trying to download 'http://www.decaldev.com/releases/2966/decal.msi'.

LoL, i'll test it out.

I downloaded setup.exe to my desktop of a windows xp vm.

Upon launch i get:


Decal 2.9

! An error occured while downloading a required file. You may retry downloading the file or cancel setup.


When I cancel that, I get:


An error occurred trying to download 'http://www.decaldev.com/releases/2966/decal.msi'.


See the setup log file located at 'C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD1.tmp\install.log' for more information.


When I manually goto to http://www.decaldev.com/releases/2966 and download decal.msi everything seems to install fine. Rebooting now, Stay tuned...

Well, I'm logged in and killing stuff. It seems to be working fine so far...

So what bugs did you intro...err... i mean fix? =)

P.S.; here's the install log from my fist attempt using the setup.exe...

fixed the file name on the server. should be good to download now

Yep, setup.exe works now. I used a 2nd XP VM which was a clone of the 1st XP VM from before I installed 2.9.6.6 on it using the msi.


And 2.9.6.6 itself seems to be running just fine.


Is that all you needed?
