Yep same here. I uninstalled and reinstalled Impulse the first time (a few says ago) it fixed it, then Ive got it again (just installed Demigod, which wants an update). I get it nomatter when i try to update (on load, through popup, or manual check) and have kept impulse updated regularly.
The error reads:
Decompression error.
(Impulse (Main))
I would note that my system has impulse installed on the D: drive, Demigod and GCII:EU on D:, Objectdock and Fences on C: with the Demigod Demo. Which may or may not have anything to do with the problem 
Thanks,
