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

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*
As fixmypcmike suggested, Avast might be killing the CMS due to the need for a TCP port it doesn’t recognize. Otherwise, make sure that the CMS service is set to ‘Automatic’ Startup in the Services Utility in the Control Panel.
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.
It looks like they’ve changed the folder names rather than the file names—are you seeing the same folder but different file names?
ETA: I see, in some cases they renamed the files as well.
These are a couple of the errors I’ve seen. After that I got tired of copying the error boxes. It takes a long time, but I can go through each message and locate the renamed file. What a pain! Why would DAZ rename files and kill compatibility with saved scenes?
Edit: You are right. They changed directories and file names.
Download issues again, sorry — what are the file sizes of DAZStudio_4.5.1.6_Win64.exe and 14812_GenesisStarterEssentials_1.6_trx.exe supposed to be? And these are still the latest versions, right?

With Windows…UAC, firewalls and AVs all ‘fighting’ to ‘protect’ your machine…it’s a wonder anything can get installed and run properly…except malware, that is.

This sure is getting confusing. I do not know what I have, as far as plugins, will work or not with these newer versions of studio. Just when I think that all I have will work, a newer version comes out and some plugins work and some don’t. Is there going to be a time when the studio will have been updated to stability and then we can see what the fall out is in what plugins need updating? I have a mess, here, with many plugins purchased, but do not know if they work or not…
