  • Is there every going to be an option for DIM to read a folder of manifest files, and use that list to redownload/reinstall DIMs?

    Say for example, due to space restrictions you have deleted all installer DIMS on your laptop, but you kept a backup copy of your manifest files. Then you upgrade to a new computer with bigger hard drive, copy the manfest files to your new PC, and then DIM reads this and redownloads/reinstalls your content to the new PC.

    The purpose of manifest files is for DIM to know which files are installed.

    When I try to open the install manager and press login, it doesn't matter if the password is right or not, it crashes without attempting to load.

    Try the 32bit version of install manager. I had the same problem with the previous installed 64bit version: it crashes every time i tryed to open it. The 32bit version now works properly. Maybe this is a workaround for those who have the same issue.

    Tried to run DAZ Studio 4.10 (64 bit) which I had downloaded and used successfully June of 2019. DAZ Studio has encountered a fatal error.

    OK fine - let's download the latest version. Now I get DIM - when I start it prompts for account and password which I provide correctly (verified on the site) and it says I need to verify my account. Click the button, get the EULA page which says I must be logged in to sign the license agreement, even though the account icon shows me logged in and has my profile info. No matter how I get to the EULA page, it says I must login, even though I'm logged in already.

    Browser is Firefox if that matters

    Thanks

    Thanks Richard.

    I ended up having to click on one of the products I had purchased a while back, which took me to the EULA from my logged in session, then I was able to accept it. Unfortunately DAZ studio still crashes on startup, but I created a ticket for that.

    Again, thanks for the prompt reply.

    Regards

    Robin

    Now I can't install new items. Install Manager has encountered a fatal error, and must close. The details in attached file. I would like to ask for recommendation what to do to cope with the situation.

    How much available space do you have on F drive? Is it a local or network drive?

    Thank you Doctor Jellybean.

    I have got a plenty of space. (1)

    Everything is local. But I download to F: and install to L: (1)

    The current version of DIM (just installed) show this window (2)

    Whether I click Start Queue or start download new items, it always crashes. (3)

    Moreover, DIM has 2000+ items ready to install but I had installed them all. Just shown this way with the current version of DIM.

    Your F drive looks like a flash drive? Try using an internal drive (NTFS) as the download drive and see if that works.

    Nope. It's WD MY BOOK 3.5" USB 3. Thank you!

  • Didn't help me. Still can't open a lot of gen 8 stuff.

    Voulez-vous dire que DAZ Studio se ferme lorsque vous essayez de vous connecter? Votre adresse e-mail ou votre mot de passe utilise-t-il des caractères accentués?

    I recently upgraded DazStudio, and my DIM went wonky (intermittently installing products, and in one case, installing Valentino 8's materials but not his geometry). So, I finally settled on re-installing DIM. Two things have changed. Well, three, because product installation returned to normal.

    1) Each time I open DIM, a dialogue box appears telling me to download and install Daz Studio. 2) The files in the Download list are no longer absolutely alphabetical but chrono-alphabetical (products from the same order/purchase are alphabetized and products from earlier purchases are alphabetized underneath them in retro-chronological order).

    Is this an improvement? Or is my DIM going wonky in a new way?

    It is a new feature, called Install Sets. More about that in the first post:

    Thank you @DoctorJellybean. Now to discover how I can return to STRICT alphabetical listing of installed items so that I don't have to type in the name of every item that NEW DIM decided to incompletely install. (Though it thoughtfully left a greyed out Connect icon for each item it nixed).

    While I'm at it, I need to know how to return to strict alphabetical for my downloads as well.

    In DIM there is a Sort Order option, use whichever option you like.

    From the first post:

    1.4.0.35 (May 12, 2020)

    • General
      • Fixed an issue with the creation of a CMS configuration file
        • Addresses a folder/file permissions issue in some Windows environments
        • Addresses a folder/file ownership issue in some macOS environments
      • Product views (i.e., Ready to Download, Ready to Install, Installed) now limit context menus to columns to the left of the info column
        • Prevents context menus (and unintended associated behaviors) in unintended columns

    I suppose it's not a coincidence that my first attempt to use install manager after a new public version is announced gives me this message:

    It has to be a server issue, but you can contact Customer Services and ask them to check your account details.

    If you are using DazCentral, log out of that, close it and try DIM again.

    Its not a server issue, I have just changed my password via Daz and now I can log in with the new password.

    DIM has been updated, anyone who hasn't updated wont be able to log in with the old version.

    EDIT

    Scratch that, the new DIM and that Central don't recognise my password, same one I'm logged into the site with, guess the coders made an ass of it somewhere.

    You may need to update your password, especially if it's short or simple.
