I have been trying since Dec 21 to install this program and have tried everything....This program has to be somewhat different from old Decal 7, as I had no problem with it...Put on your hats you computer wizes and see what you can come up with....I want to play AC with Decal; I hate playing manually!!! Bahh Humbug...Thanks Mar

Ummm.. double click on the file?

Of course I have tried that and tried installing it from my computer from download. It sticks 3/4 of the way through installing application files...I have uninstalled old decal and all decal plugins, cleared temp files, cleaned registry, run defragment...dont know what else to do...>thanks

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.

To be exact....take a look at this link.

These 2 players got it to install doing it that way ^.

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..

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.
