That's what I am missing, but the odd thing is, I know I installed the runtimes prior to Decal, several times in fact.
Or am I grabbing the wrong runtimes? (Currently have the .Net 2.0 RTM version, direct from the MS updates site.)

.NET 2.0 RTM is what you want if you're running Alpha 4 (which Population Filter won't work with, at least not unless you install Alpha 5 (assuming it gets released)).
if you're running Alpha 3, then I know that .NET 2.0 Beta 2 will work. I have no idea if RTM is backward compatible enough to support Beta 2 assemblies.

Well, I just wiped and tried again, UNinstalled Decal A3, installed the .Net Runtimes again (repaired actually), then re-installed Decal A3 and the old Population Filter. Still no luck and the services section under Decals list does not show the required service.
So it sounds like the .Net 2.0 runtimes official release will not work with Decal A3 . .. or I am just messed up . . . which is always a possibility.  |

probably the former. i don't know if it's worth it to try to uninstall the .net 2.0 RTM runtime, then attempt to install the beta 2 version.
it's almost easier to install vb 2005 express edition, and build an alpha-4 compatible version yourself using the source from sourceforge (as far as i know, simply rebuilding the latest version against alpha 4 should work).

You forget most people aren't as software-savvy as you, mr Gober

More than one person has expressed an interest in running Population Filter with Decal 3 Alpha 4, so I made a version that will work with it.

Now my question from reading this is this...
Will we get a HUD on this? It would be nice to really know how many people would be on to see if it really is worth a quest start up, etc... really alot of purposes.
