    I assume that you are trying to install Daz Studio 4 Pro ? Daz3D is the company,

    The Software currently on offer at 100% discount is DazSudio 4 pro, Bryce 7 pro and Hexagon 2.

    Do you know how to do a image capture of the Error you get when you run the DS4Pro install exe file?
    Also is your XP PC a 32bit system or a 64bit system? You need to install the version for your system.
    DS4Pro comes in both 32bit and 64bit. The 64bit will not run on a 32bit PC.

    I will leave Jaderail to get you going in DS4 first, before I start confusing you with Bryce.

    I'm not understanding how the content creation toolkit is crashing. It comes built into DS4 Pro. I haven't ran the installer in quite some time but I'm not remembering a box that you check off in regards to CCT. Is it possible for you to give us a screenshot of that part of the install and the error you are getting? The more information we have the better we can help you. We'll get you though this.

    Are you trying to install the ContentCreationToolKit.exe? You no longer need to install that as a seperate file. All those tools are now built into DS4Pro and will be active when you register your DS4Pro with the serial number. I'm sorry I did not catch this sooner, I'm one of the people who wonder why they still include those files that are now built into DS4Pro as seperate files. They are not needed. Only the DarkSide Style installer is needed in some versions.

    It's not included with the current download. It was included when DS4 first release but after they started giving it for free they combined it. I you do have that file then reset your download and that will give you the current version of DS and everything is included in it.

    I've asked the Bryce big gun to come help with this one. Chohole knows much more about it than I do. Give them a few to get in here. And I'm sure others will help also.

    OK, Install the Bryce 7.1. 0.o9.exe first, and then follow it up by installing the content. The file that is labelled "bryce lightnining you will only need if you want to set up a "render fram" that is to link more than one PC togehter in a network for rendering purposes.

    You will find the content files contain all sorts of things, inclucing scene files

    I quote Horo

    You can install Bryce where ever you want. The proposition of an installation path is there for convenience. Bryce even runs on an USB stick. The content installers are not actually installers. All they do is unpack the files with the folder structure on a drive/path of your choice. I recommend to create a temporary folder "MyTempFolder" or whatever name you care to give it and install the content into that folder. Look at the files in the folders created. There are tutorials, sample scenes and such. You can copy them wherever you wish. I have a sub-folder "Content" under the Bryce main folder and have things there so I find the. There are presets in some of the content packages. These are different. You must copy them into a particular folder. In the main Bryce folder, ther is a sub-folder named "Presets". Under this folder, there are more folders for materials, skies, textures, objects, etc. Again, there are subfolders and you can add more with names of your choice. Look at the files in those folders and you know which file types belong into which folder. The picture (if it shows) should give you an idea (here for obp objects).

    You could actually do worse that popping over to the old (archived) site yourself and reading the thread on installing Bryce. Horo made such a good job at talking a non-emglish speaker through it.

    THere are a few posts that you can ignore, but it is a very useful thread.

    That's the main reason why Horo suggests installing to a temp folder and moving the content manually. Make yourself an empty folder on your HD and install it there, then move stuff around yourself.

    Bryce is the easiest to deal with, but it does have it's little quirks, when it comes to the installers.

    Personally I deal with all my content that way, because I am fussy as to where things go, and whether I have an installer or a zip I always use a temp folder an rearrange myself.

    Don't let the installers overwrite anything. THey can be bullies. :roll:

    Gamer_ most of us are just 3D artist. Not many of us use the software the way you wish too. We are trying to find another person that can help you but it might take a little time.
