Problem with using Leather Jacket

thomas-muenz

Hello

I am using Daz3D for just a few days now. I bought the Leather Jacket for Genesis (http://www.daz3d.com/leather-jacket-for-genesis).
I downloaded it like any other addon I bought (which all appear nicely under smart content). But for the jaket, only the materials appear. Not the jacket itself.
The jacket appears under "lost and found", but never under its actual category (wardrobe etc.).
In L&G, the jacket (and the slider) have a little yellow file symbol in the top right corner. I suppose that means files are missing.
When I insert the jacket into the scene with a selected Genesis male, it does not get connected (paranted or whatever) to the selected model, it just gets inserted as a standalone. With texture, etc.
If I select the "default" jacket entry (whatever that is, it's neither the model nor a material), I get an error message saying that "LJ_leather_d1.jpg" cannot be found under the user path "Serg".

Well, of course it cannot be found there, because I have no user "Serg" on my machine.
If our interns at work setup software projects using hardcoded paths into their personal user directoy, they get a lengthy speech about how stupid they are.
Looks like the guy who did the jacket is on their level...

If I press locate and navigate to the correct path (the jpg is there, although under its proper path, of course, not under "Serg"), it has no effect and the next time I try to insert that "default" thing, the error message comes again.

Long story short: Can anyone tell me how to get the jacket to work, meaning connect/adjust/parent to the selected figure properly?

Thanks for any help.

How did you install - Install Manager or Connect?

I checked my installation of this product. I see all of the items (Wardrobe, Materials, and Props) properly categorized in Smart Content. I installed it with Daz Connect from inside Daz Studio.
