An even newer version - shouldn’t I just download that instead then?
Note that the new version is still a beta — meaning it isn’t yet the final release version, the programmers are still playing whack-a-mole with the bugs, and some extra features might still be added. Don’t get this yet unless you really know what you’re doing.

Or if you like living on the bleeding edge…or are just a masochist.
There is a newer version of DS 4.5 out today, I downloaded and installed it, it solves some problems with UberArea lights and also the render Settings among other things. I don’t know how you got 4.5.0.114, but the latest one is a Beta right enough.
What you need to install is the DAZStudio_4.5.0.114_Win64.exe, that is the main installer. Then install the Genesis Starter Essentials.
Unless you have ZBrush, you don;t need the GoZ plugin, the DS 3DBridge one is for Photoshop, and if you haven’t bought decimator, don’t install it either.
Animate 2 is for animation as you would guess, and uses aniblocks. Decimator is really for gamers to reduce the poly count of DAZ models. Both can be bought in the store here.

So is the Bridge for Photoshop no use without ‘Decimator’ then? Even if you do have PhotoShop? (I do)
So is the part of DAZ Studio that allows you to do rigging in the already downloaded DAZStudio_4.5.0.114_Win64.exe then?
I think JimmyC meant that if you did not buy Decimator, you should not install the Decimator file. Bridge for Photoshop does not need Decimator. You would need Decimator if you want to produce a game, it is used to reduce DAZ models to lower poly count. And rigging should be included in DAZStudio_4.5.0.114_Win64.exe.
In case for some reason you have to back step. For example I needed to go back and redo some product files and since they were originally done in 4.0 I back stepped (for cohesion) to do the clean up. Once I finish I’ll move back to 4.5 again.

Oh right, so as the version of Daz4 I have installed right now is 4.0.0.343 - I can safely ignore 4.0.3.47 - good.
I’m in the middle of installing and I’ve got this happening:
If I click on ‘cancel’ because I don’t want to change anything - then it says - “do you want to abort installation?” - well, no, of course I don’t want to abort - I’m just halfway through, so I click ‘No’ but then I’m back where I started.
But if I click on ‘Next’ (2) I’m offered this other screen, with a warning about database deletion - so I don’t change anything but click on ‘next’ and—- well basically it’s just sending me round in circles - HELP!???
I don’t want to change anything, I don’t want to abort the installation, I don’t want to delete anything - what the heck do I do?????
Okay, well I’ve installed everything, and it’s failed somehow - all I have is Daz Studio 4 Standard when I click on the desktop icon. Not 4.5 and not Pro.
What’s going on?
It’s alright, I was just giving up and going to bed - it being after half past 3 in the morning, and as soon as I closed FireFox, POP! the DAZ Studio4.5 icon appeared, ( it wasn’t there when I just minimised FireFox, only on actually closing it) plus an icon I know nothing about and didn’t ask for - which is suspicious.
This new icon says “Get 3d Models” and the name on it is ‘TORE’
What is all that about?
I don’t like it when programs install extra unasked for icons on my desktop, there are too many there already.
Iv’e got TORE too on my desktop before….because i installed daz 4.5 on another old version….it doesn’t say pro version in the menu,well it’s hard to say this but….....i solved that problem only with formating my windows….there is a lot of icons on your desktop right?i tried to remove them from their source,don’t look for them in program files because you won’t find them there,try to see in windows folder but search as deep as you can…i didn’t finf them anyway,and i got my windows formated not just because of them,i changed it from xp pro to 7 pro,i hope you get things right mate.
That should say “Store” and it’s a new ‘feature’...a desktop link directly to the DAZ store…and unfortunately, if you delete it, it comes back with every install you do. The only way NOT to get it is run the installer manually in console mode…and even then I’m not sure if all the installers obey the commands.
