Are you using Daz Install Manager, Daz Central, or the stand-allone installer from the Product Library page? What operating system are you using?

I am getting the same thing.... I was using the Daz Instalation Manager installing content to a new drive. Worked fine until sometime last night, this morning I had error messages and couldn't get any content to the downlaod list. Installed Daz Central, and the Dashboard won't load a thing. CMS just won't connect. I am beginning to think this is on thier end.

Hi there,

i tried to change my Daz Central content installation path via the gear icon. When i did that , the infinite dashboard loading icon appeared and i wasnt able to download anything at all or change the path back to the original.

I reinstalled Daz central 3 times now. I also deleted the Daz 3d folders in Appdata/Roaming and everywhere else i could find them to make place for a "Clean" install.

Nothing helped.

In my frustration i tried to download the old Daz Install Manager instead , but when i logged in it doesnt show me any of the stuff i own. similar to the problem here : https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/373551/install-manager-not-working

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same problem here , however it worked fine for me yesterday until i tried to change the content installation path via the gear icon in Daz Central. Only thing i can do now in Daz Central is logging out , since clicking the gear icon does now do nothing.

already reinstalled 3 times and did a clean install by deleting AppData/Roaming Daz Studio Folders etc....

also the Daz Install Manager doesnt work either. It shows nothing instead of loading forever.

Whats up with DAZ? When i try to install products in DIM or DAZ Central i get installing failed.
This is new! So now we cant install the products we buy? Also DAZ connect just takes forever and
when finally installed you get a message that stuff is missing...

Is it possible to install the update via DIM or manually?

The linked page wants me to install DAZ Central, then DS (been there, done that, not doing it again. I'll stay DIM only to avoid trouble).

thanks

Here we go again. New computer, and that link is now broken. Really don't want to use DAZ Central, arrrgh.

It's not broken ... the powers that be decided to put the downloads in the description. *Eyeroll*

Click on Description and scroll doooooown.

*sigh*

There is no manual or DIM download option in the Product Library for https://www.daz3d.com/41-food-shaders

(also, couldn't get https://www.daz3d.com/gustavo-hair-for-genesis-8-males to download within the first ten attempts, but I'll just keep hammering away at that until it works)

Bought Facegen Pro. Doesn't appear on DIM or Daz Central. Manual download options blank in product library. No serial number listed in account. No way to use the product I've purchased. 
(Ticket raised in Help Centre.)

I'll also be putting in a ticket later today - I've used up my hour and a half dealing with DAZ problems for this morning.

Thanks, everyone. Good to know it's not just me. I did notice that these issues have only started appearing regularly since I installed Daz Central - I ripped that off today and now most files are OK, but a few are still problematic. I'm seeing a lot of network errors and 'file size mismatch' errors in the logfile. 

@fibyken: Keep us posted on your support results. I'm really interested to know what they tell you.

@outrider42: Yes, I've seen that too. I do the manual DL as a last resort, but some of these won't even download manually. 

I'll let you know, and you're right, I just attempted (again) to do a manual download and they're still failing.  They get to about 30 - 50% then fail.  :(

Possibly coming back to Daz after a long hiatus,and I'm having the same issues. Decided to try out Daz Central and noticed it so I tried with DIM and same thing. So far these are the products I've tried that are failing:

Borg for Genesis 8 Female(s) | 3D Models and 3D Software by Daz 3D
Project EYEray - Next Gen and Merchant Resource for Genesis 8 | 3D Models and 3D Software by Daz 3D
Naia HD for Genesis 8 Female | 3D Models and 3D Software by Daz 3D

It might still be supported (for products), but NOT for an update or download of DAZ Studio 1.14. D|S 1.14 appears in DIM and tried to download and update but the download fails every time and it cannot be installed. DAZ3D are trying to strongarm their users to use DAZ Central.There is no choice to update Studio except DC.I don't think many users will be happy about that. Just like Microsoft and Windows 10!

I saved a copy of 4.5 and as I was having so much trouble with 1.14 I uninstalled it. When I installed 4.5 however it opens as 1.14 and Im back where I started. They have this control thing where they have changed the rules and we are stuck with it. I cant go back to working as I used to at all.  This update is sticky,laggy and crashes a lot. I am very upset that Daz has taken all our money and given us a new crap version so they can keep tabs on whoever is using it. They should call it Daz Control instead of daz central. It only works in their favour,this way they can monitor all the different bridges and assets going out ,but we are left with something that doesnt even do what it used to do!

I beg your pardon, it shouldn't sound aggressive. But I've already had a lot of experience with developer redesigns that sometimes drive the users to despair.
e.g.:
-  iTunes:  renamed all my music files and also shot up my entire folder structure. It took me over 3 weeks to rename everything and move it around.
- Thunderbird: With every major update, almost always all add-ons become unusable and a "downgrade is not possible without data loss "(Mozillas support answer).
- I remember also some applications, where the update changed my full version to a 30 days trial version.

So why do I now have the feeling that one is forced to "DazCentral":
When I tried to download Daz Studio again - directly from the website - I ran into the obstacle of not having a direct download.
If you go to "Download Daz Studio" at the top of your page ( https://www.daz3d.com/get_studio/ ) you will be automatically redirected
to the "Daz Central" page and every "Download Now" is linked to the file DazCentral_1.5.0.19_Win64.exe and  it would be downloaded.
The installation manager is not mentioned anywhere on this page - oh .. only at the end as "DIM" with the info:
"DazCentral and DIM cannot currently run at the same time."
I feel literally bombarded with the term "Daz Central", also on "My Account" ( https://www.daz3d.com/customer/account )
... what's below? in large letters "Looking for DazCentral?".

Thank you for letting me know that the Daz Install Manager is still available ... and I hope also in the future.

To your information.
I have reinstalled Daz Studio 4.14. # and also some content successfully (HD of my choice)  with the Daz Install Manager,  
And my OS is fine ... had no problems.  To me it seemed as if my OS hadn't forgotten the path to the correct drive,
but rather as if the install manager had reset itself to a basic setting ... why ever. 

Now everything seems ok again ... 

Here we go again. New computer, and that link is now broken. Really don't want to use DAZ Central, arrrgh.

Upgraded computer.  Intalled DAZ using DAZ Central.  Successfuly intalled all my assets except for two:  "FW Rebekah HD for Vicotoria 8" and "Tidy Kitchen."  They fail to download.

What to do?  Just wait till tomorrow and see if they download?  

Hmmm.

For now, yes. If they are still the same then open a support ticket.

Since DIM and Daz Central download the same file from the same servers this isn't the case. I installed the last update to the Public Build through DIM a couple of days ago, and the previous updates to both before that.

...  I don't use Daz Central I worked to hard to customize my Content Database to use Renderosity content and Daz don't have any documents to use Renderosity in that program.

Oh yes, I agree with you. I get really annoyed when developers force users to make changes that are more harmful than helpful.
Just recently the Install Manager downloaded and installed the new Daz Studio version. BUT on the wrong hard drive and ignored the actually specified installation path as well as that of my library.

That should not happen, though the library path is not relevant for software installs.

Now I can reinstall everything and have to check everything three times to make sure that nothing has been lost. (Fortunately my old library still exists and everything seems to be in its place)

Why do you need to reinstall everything? Unless the content also moved - which would sound more like the OS losing track of the HD identifiers (drive letters on WIndows).

I don't want the DazCentral either - but I think we have to use it in the future whether we like it or not. -.-

Install Manager iss till avaialble, Daz Central is a different front-end for the same code with simplified options (just a base location).
