done a few clean installs now,,,ensure everything is up to date,,,removed items from windows registry entirely and then tried reinstalling again. At the moment just trying to get decal back on this computer (had to do a system restore the other day for another reason but since then cannot get decal back up and running)


continue to get this decal file service no dll


tried installing duallog --- tried many ways to get this going again


any ideas? please and thank you

always post a decal export. It helps people see exactly whats on your system rather than guessing what you have installed.

I believe they are having problems installing decal so no way they can post an export.

you only get that error when decal is installed and you try to start AC.

thanks,,,i kept having problems yes but got it sorted now


for any future reference what occurred was the net framework program ended up corrupting which in turn controlled in some way the decal file service.


normal uninstalling was not enough, net frameworks a whole lot differently than that,,,,started in on deleting a whole list of suggested windows registry programs but in reading about all this found a small uninstall zip file to wipe the system of any and all references to net framework. Did that,,,held my breath as you then need to install versions 1 on up to get it back onto your system.


In the end thats what had happened,,,netframework holds the keys to this decal file service,,,once I had that back, decal reinstalled along with all plugins I wanted. Was back using decal last night just fine.
