Username Change and Install Manager issue

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I recently changed my username and now when I log into DIM with the new username, it shows all of my purchases and still need to be installed, yet in Studio they are installed. How to I get manager to reflect my current installs under my other username tha I had?

    Did the email or password change?

    Since Install Manager doesn't know it's the same account, it isn't looking at the information for the "other" account.  If you go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\UserAccounts you shoud see a .ini file for each account.  In the one for the "new" account you can add a line in the [General] section reading:

    OverrideManifestDir=Q:/DIM/ManifestFiles

    (with the path to the ManifestFiles folder for the "old" account, I've modified mine so I don't recall what the default is).  Note that the separator is a forward slash rather than a backslash.

    That did not work for me.

    Did you have DIM closed when you made the change?
