LAMH 1.6 installer errors... has anyone seen these ? RESOLVED

Bought LAMH yesterday on Fast Grab. Attempting to install, without success. Studio 4.8, W7 64 bit, LAMH 1.6 64 bit.

Uninstalled the free Player first, then ran the Daz LAMH installer. No problems. Opening Studio 4.8 produced an error msg at the beginning splash screen load (attached.)

Responded to that error, and 4.8 opened as usual, Accessed LAMH via the Tools dropdown, and got another error msg, (attached,) reporting a content path issue, instead of giving me the Registration window.

I work offline exclusively, and all my content is stored on an outboard drive, not the System drive on my computer. I saw no way to specify which drive has the content (as the error msg seems to be saying.)

Closed 4.8, and reopened, still getting the first error, so I uninstalled LAMH 1.6, and Studio went back to normal opening, no error.

Before I go for a refund, I thought I'd ask the community if anyone else has had these errors, or knows how to fix them.

The free Player works well, I was very surprised at how fast, and how well, Wolf 2 rendered. On the strength of that, I decided to go ahead and grab the full LAMH for possible additional features, but I don't see that I really need the full LAMH. Besides these errors, having to drag my computer 60 miles to access the nearest Internet connection just to register the paid-for product is a big hassle.

Still, I got it at a great sale price, so if the errors can be figured out, it may be worthwhile to keep it.

    LAMH needs to ba able to write to your user area.  Usually this is C:\users\xxx\Documents\DAZ 3D.  Where is yours set to?  It cannot be in a place under "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" since windows blocks writes to those areas.

    Thanks, Kendall. I appreciate the quick response.

    I'm not sure I'm following what this means. If I reproduce the path in the error msg, create that exact path, ending in subfolder "content," is LAMH going to be writing content to that folder, or is it just for registration purposes?

    I'll go ahead with that plan, and see what happens.

    the "lookatmyhairAM" folder in the user's "documents/DAZ 3D" folder is used for a number of operations such as creating textures, geometry, and such.  The folder should have been created by your DAZStudio install.  We get the path to use from DS.  If you've moved these folders you may need to update your DS's setup to let it know.

    Thank you, again,

    Given what you're saying, I'm not understanding why the Daz installer doesn't create the requisite subfolder by itself. That path error msg is looking for a Documents subfolder called "content."

    I have the basic path it wants already, just, apparently, minus that subfolder, or one called "lookatmyhairAM"?

    I have so many other products and plugins, never ran into this snag, and manually creating this subfolder isn't mentioned; no documentation or zip file in the download; just the Daz installer. How do people know to do this prior to install?

    In any case, thanks for providing a "path" toward resolution, which I'll explore when I get home. I've redownloaded the installer, just in case.

    I created the missing subfolder, and got to the Registration screen, activated LAMH, and opened it. All good.

    Thank you, again, for your help, Kendall.
