Oh, good—so I’m not the only person totally ticked off by this “update”. It either crashes to the desktop when I try to load content into the scene, or it lock-ups when I try to clear the scene. Way to go, DAZ—solve one problem, and introduce two more…
DAZ 3D Plugins that were available for version 4.5.0.114 were updated but will NOT need to be updated (re-downloaded) since they are compatible with this new version.
This release contains numerous bug fixes and other enhancements - including support for the DSON Importer for Poser. See the change log for more details. The Genesis Essentials Starter Bundle (default Genesis content) has also been updated to support this release but is not required to download for users of version 4.5.0.114.
I am about to take the plunge and install 4.5—had to revert to 4.0 earlier but now there’s a new update so I’ll give it another chance. All my files are backed up, what I need to know now is do I need to install the Genesis Starter Essentials 1.6 file if I also have the one that came with the DSON for Poser plugin? I’m planning to use Genesis in both Studio and Poser.

No, the 1.6 version is the same for both DS 4.5.1.6 and the DSON Importer.
Thanks, wasn’t quite sure on account of different file sizes. I have also reset all my products that have been updated, do I need to uninstall the old versions first or will just running the new installers do that for me? Trying not to end up with duplicates and confusing the poor thing.

I believe installing the new one will uninstall the old, but I’m not certain, as I install to a dummy location and then move to my real cntent folders, so the uninstallers won’t work for me.
First, let me apologize right off the bat if this has been posted anywhere and dealt with. If so, please give me the link to the fix.
Okay, as I was installing this new upgrade 4.5.1.6 = I began getting errors - I clicked ignore because after the second attempt and getting the sames errors, I wanted to write them down. I did go on with the install, but I haven’t gone any further - I stopped to make this post.
Please, if anyone knows - why did I get the above errors and will Daz Studio function normally after installing while getting the above errors? What malfunctions will the errors cause within the program? Should I just reinstall the previous and wait a while before moving ahead?
These are related to the valentinadb used in the CMS. We need to know the actual error(s) that you are getting before we can tell you what is going on.

Huh? Is that not what I listed ??? The errors? That list is EXACTLY what I got while trying to install. Nothing else I can give you. Windows 7 OS - ...

OK. Are you running any type of malware protection such as Avast? If so, these will cause problems with the ValentinaDB as the sandbox will get in the way. If so, disable the protection during the install.
If there is no malware protection: try uninstalling the CMS separately, and then reinstall DS4
I get around the CMS conflicts on re-installs to the samedb location by first disabling the DAZ Content Manager Service in Windows services. (Start > Run>Services.msc)

You were right, it was the Avast. I turned it off… and now 4.5.1.6 is installed.
Now… how do I get CMS to run and STAY running? The last two versions, it will NOT stay on, and run without having me going into Task Manager to get it started. Or going into Start up under Daz3d and then, Content Management yadda yadda - I start it there as well, if the first place doesn’t work.
Well, with the new install… STILL not working. Which sucks, because I really got dependent on using it. And just when I got smooth with it, GONE. *sigh*
I updated to DS 4.5.1.6 from a previously installed 4.5 version. I installed 14812_GenesisStarterEssentials_1.6_trx.exe. Now whenever I open a previously saved DUF scene that used content from the Genesis Starter Essentials, it cannot find the texture files. The textures are there in the same folder, but they have new names! I had the problem with Aldora hair, SallyMae hair, Journey Scout and Kids 4 Basic Wear.

If you disable Avast temporarily, does the CMS keep running?
