  You need to install the Genesis Starter Essentials (the original Genesis) as well -- G2F Starter Essentials does not supplant them, it is an addition. You may also need to go to Edit > Preferences > Startup and change the startup scene to Genesis.duf if it still says Genesis.dsf

  Is it the startup scene that isn't working? Go to Edit > Preferences > Startup and change the startup scene to Genesis.duf

  You probably didn't set up DIM properly, it doesn't magically know where your Studio library is.

  It's still trying to load the .dsf -- there should be a Genesis.duf in that some location.

  If you still have problems, hope to try again these steps,,

  1 clean un-install about daz default contents for ds 4.0 too. not only aprication.

  though you uninstall ds4.0 aprication, they are not auto uninstalled.(about windows,, I remember)
  you should not merge old default contents for 4.0 with new genesis starter essential.(default contents for 4.6)

  2 Usually Both of "start up scene" , and "new" load scene, are appointed to old genesis.dsf user scene files.
  about your case,, but genesis.duf file is actuall user scene files which DIM installed. and we should use it .

  if you can find genesis.duf not genesis.dsf in your contents library and Smart contents,
  go to preference >> select "Scene" and "Start up" As Mike said,,,

  then appoint new genesis.duf (not in data) about both (or you can select "none", I prefered this because,
  now we have gen2F too.

  3 check again the "ds contents directory" for DIM, DIM install all contents there (the directory means root for your all contents
  which installed by DIM) you can check it from DIM configureation setting . under install tab section.

  if you did not change the default setting, it must be C:/Users/Public/Documents/MY DAZ 3D Library.
  the folda should be new and empty, untill you use DIM and install contents.

  4 After that you need to add the DIM isntalled directory as one of ds contents directory for daz studio CMS
  by DS directory manager, So that CMS can serch and show the files in the DIM installed directory.
  but if you have old default ds contents in your directory, then add new DIM directory,
  in database,, they merge and cause problemes I think.

  so that need clean uninstall , about contents too.

  if you have still problems,
  please memo both directories as full path, then show here please. it make easy to remove problem.

  a) ds contents directory which you can see in ds directory manager,
  (which you have used before , or added in daz studio 4.6 by your self)

  b) root directory DIM isntall contents which you can check by DIM install setting ,

  I thought you might like to find the .dsf file - I had the same problem, searched for the way it was placed in the Vista Ultimate System that I use, and, resolved most of my issues. So - here is where I found the .dsf file - as well as other file folders that you will no doubt find useful to getting Genesis up and running proper in Daz Studio Pro 4.6 : C: / Users / Public / Public Documents / My Daz 3D Library / data / DAZ 3D / Genesis / Base / Genesis.dsf - there should also be 4 other files there for which you will probably want to put in with it - Morphs, Projection Templates, Tools and UV Sets. By the way, I did NOT set up my original Daz Studio Pro 4.0 (for which I actually payed money) in this directory. If your start-up directory in your new Daz Studio Pro 4.6 has changed, which I'm certain it has - you will no doubt either have to migrate previous files or change your preferences to where you can find them all. Don't spread 'em out far and wide or you will surely discover that searching and finding them yourself might just become a screaming nightmare. Yes, this worked for me.
