Do you install your content on an external drive? If so, could the drive letter have changed since you setup your install directory?
I double checked and its still E Drive. I install the actual daz program to my c drive though, wherever DIM usually puts it. The rest of my content is installing just fine, its the actual 4.24 that its having fits over.
How are you installing?
through DIM. The rest of the content I was installing had no issues.
This is installing the actual application? Click the gear icon at top-right in DIM and select Show Helper Log, save it as a new file, and attach it to a post here.
Yes, the actual program. I've attached the log file. Its quite long. I did try multiple times to download it. I changed nothing before I tried it, and all of the assets I downloaded had no issues.
Please delete that file and try instaling again, so we get a clean report - you don't have much memory, though, and are running WIndows 7. There are a lot of occasions when no PostgreSQL connection could be made, which is suspicious.

Which don't show anything related to installing Daz Studio, let alone an error. What exactly are you doing when you get the no disc error?
Dim is running and I click on the install (4.24 Daz Studio} and it will start to install then throw the disk error. I also cannot exit the disk error pop up, I have to literally shut the whole pc down.
Please post a screenshot. Did theose log entries show you trying to do the isntallation, or are they just non-problem runs? They seem toe xit cleanly, so not a forced system shutdown.
