no.


From the error logs, it looks as if it is having trouble finding the %TEMP% path to copy the decal.msi file to.


It says Copying "blah blah blah" to "" which basically means nowhere. Could be an installer issue. Could be a machine configuration issue. I just don't know.

if this helps.. This is the last entry in the install.log

Looks like Dx9 is having a problem.....it shouldn't be.


What do you think Drakier.......I could be wrong though.

we had some people on harvestgain trying to download , then run..


and it would not work.


only running it from the decal site , would give you the microsoft eula, for the direct x upgrade part of the "setup"


dont know if this would help you, but its helped a few on hg..

I also could not install the decal utility file. I got a message that said "an error occurred while trying downloading a required file. l You may retry downloading the file or cancel setup.


When I go into details of this message, I get this message:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.


For example:


<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>


When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.


Thanks for any help...mar
