Just back from a long extended break.


Been looking around and not sure what the issue is.


I can't seem to get the instal of decal to work. Seems to get stuck/blows up on the DX part right after you click accept to the license agreement.


I downloaded decal from this link

http://www.decaldev.com/default.aspx

and I got version 2.9.6.0 is this right?


This is the log it created for the error.

Got it going finally.


Now I can't seem to get lifetank to work. It crashes me.
