Hi guys,
Just finished installing DS 4.5 (32 Mac). Now I’ll preface this by saying I’ve been using DAZ Studio since 1.2. So I’m not exactly a newbie. But this has got me stumped and was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I purchased Reality 2 for DS4 (32) and went to install it into DS4 but received this Error Message: (see below). Does anyone know what is going on here? I’m at a loss! Thanks for any input.
Can you select the folder manually?if you tried it and the error message still shown to you,maybe reality is not compatible with your version,just saying because i had those problems before( on mac not pc ) and the problem was with the new tools.

That sounds plausible. I’m running Leopard 10.5.8 but, it is, according to Preta, compatible with this OS.
From the error message, it looks as if you simply clicked the icon of your startup disk (‘MAC HD’) when the installer asked you to select a destination.
This will not work. The Reality installer needs you to find the actual folder that contains DS4.
Go back to the Destination Select step and look for a button that will allow you to choose where the software is to be installed. Click that button (I forget what it’s called, but it should be more or less obvious) and a file dialog will come up. Use that to navigate to the folder where DS4 is installed. Choose that folder as the destination for the installer.
Once you’ve done that, Reality should install without problems.

Thanks for that, but if I don’t click on the start up disc I won’t get the “Choose Folder” option.

Here is a look at my installation. Should’nt the DAZStudio icon be highlighted and not faded? I can’t understand why it is not recognizing DS4 in that folder.
