Install the missing components. Hint: Net 2.0

According to all my many installs and uninstalls net 2.0 is installed. When I read other exports I notice the only difference shows to be the inject default area; example

other persons export shows

I am not sure why the injection shows on my clipboard and not on this site. As for requirments I have repeated the process so many times I can now un-install and reinstall in my sleep

Issue 1:


Plugins, 1, <No Name>, <No Version>, {39E9E0F5-85D7-4C38-87D6-3BBCB853357E}


whatever that is, it did not install properly. Remove it using the "remove" button in Decal.


As for the differences in the two exports you posted above, (neither of them have any reference to the injection methods, not sure why you refer to that) the only difference in the two is the first one shows a different messages.xml version. That was the initial post-patch release, there was another release of refined messages.xml following that, which is the 08.22.1 version.


You say you are having "problems" but you fail to give any details. Are you getting error messages? Is Decal loading at all in game? Are you able to log into the game at all? You should provide some information as to what is going on so others can further troubleshoot your issues.

I removed the item you mentioned which was linked to El Tank.

I do appreciate the help so forgive me if I am misunderstanding the difference between net 2.0 beta and 2.0 final as you stated. I was under the impression we were to have the final net 2.0 and needed to uninstall the beta version 2.0 which is what I did.

for example:

With decal everything loads and updates fine, decal shows it is running (next to the time), however, when I start the log in session to AC my screen goes blank and boots me back to the window I started from, instead of getting the connection page with the blue connection status.

I can connect to ac without decal running.

With the last uninstal I was getting a render error.

Other than that I have never been able to get Decal working.

I do not think you need to have .NET Beta installed, but I don't know, as most of the exports I've seen have it installed. I initially read your export as not having the final, but quickly corrected that, you do have .NET Final so you *should* be fine.


Are you using Drakier's Dual Client to log in? Are you using any other sort of AC Launcher, or are you doing the login process manually?


Hopefully someone else can help, I really have no idea why your game would simply close, without even reaching the Vials Screen, I've not really read of anyone having that happen.

try installing .net 1.1 too. I believe that you need to have both 1.1 and 2.0 installed.

You should not need the 2.0 Beta - unless you are using a plugin that relies on something that was in Beta, but didnt make it into final (or was changed), which I doubt happened at all. I dont have the Beta installed and decal works just fine.

I am not sure about the 1.1, but I think most have that installed too - I do at least.

I have tried logging in several different ways but mainly use acqlaunch. However,it does not matter how I log in because it reacts the same way with each.

Someone mentioned I needed to change something in memlocs, but I am unable to view that also. It gives me:


The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Program Files/Decal 3.0/memlocs.xml'.


I will try and load the net 1.0 to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the help. M

You should never, ever be changing anything in the memlocs or messages files. Those are obtained from the Decal site, and if you changed something you could jack it up completely. Whoever told you that may have been thinking of something else. (I believe those files are encoded so you cannot mess with them, and that is why you receive that error.) If you get errors regarding those files, delete them from the Decal folder and re-download them using the "Update" button.


It didn't occur to me, but yes, it very well may be that you must have .NET 1.0. Since every single export I've ever seen has it, I didn't even think to look there, but hopefully that will fix your issues.
