Please always post a decal export when posting a question on these forums.

Does it work? ==> http://vnboards.ign.com/ac_utilities/b5432/112244851/p1/?2 http://vnboards.ign.com/ac_utilities/b5432/112244851/p1/?2


Nezrik is correct. The base operation of the AC Dual Client (ACDC) requires TWO installation copies of Asheron's Call. The wizard after first installing ACDC assist you in creating this second "copy" on your computer.


The error message indicates that this second copy did not get created.


Further, ACDC is attempting to use both "sessions" from the same single copy of AC you have installed on your computer .. thus the error message.


Decal is not required for using ACDC. But the information from it's export feature can be some help, in helping the rest of us to understand your computer from it's information.

Also, you may want to try to run it multiple times. On one of my computers I have to try two or three times to get it to launch.

I'll "second" Saloben's suggestion, I've seen the same.


Be sure there is a second path (for the second account to use) in the "Path Options" tab under "Client Path:" in ACDC.
