Hi
I tried to download the free DAZ 3D 4.5 but was directed to download, install and then run the install manager. But even after I ordered DAZ 3D 4.5 it never downloaded. How do I do that? What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
Pete

If you purchased DS 4.5 through the store, then you should find it in your account, in "Your Downloadable Products". DS 4.5 cannot be downloaded using DIM, it needs to be downloaded manually.
Hi, Pete!
The DAZ Install Manager will download and install content you can use in DAZ Studio, but not the program itself. To download that, click on the "My Account" link in the upper right corner of the webpage, then click "My Downloadable Products." You'll have to find and click the correct file. More complete instructions, including how to identify which installer file you need, are available here:

HI Scott!
Thanks. I downloaded it and tried to install it but got the following message

Are you sure you were actually trying to install the actual DS 4.5 exe, and not one of the plugin exe. THere are several files that are included with the DS 4.5 product.
Yes, I think you grabbed the wrong file. Look for this one:
DAZ Studio 4.5.x 64-bit - exe - pc
(only you may need to change "pc" to "Mac" and/or "64-bit" to "32-bit" depending on your system)
The links I posted previously have much more information on this process, so I do recommend checking that. If you're using the DAZ Install Manager, you can skip the part about installing Genesis Starter Essentials...otherwise, be sure to install that also.
I have a 32 bit machine. Which one is DAZ Studio 4.5.x 32-bit - exe - pc?
None of those... By default, the page only displays ten files at a time, so you may need to click through to the next page (or change the "10" to "50).
Ah!! Thanks!
I cannot find the "My Downloadable Products" anywhere, nor any button the the page describing DAZ PRO that causes it to download. I've owned DAZ PRO for several years and have quite a few products, but I want to make sure I have the latest version of the software.
How do I download DAZ PRO? I know how to install it once it's downloaded and I know how to install other items.
It has changed a bit, it is now the Product Library in your My Account. All your items are ready to download at anytime now, no resets required.
Thank you. That's where it was.
I have found daz studio 4.5 but now it is showing I have to download it manually HELP where is the option to download it automatic?
The current version of DAZ Studio is 4.6. You can download it through your Product Library, or you can use the Install Manager to download it automatically. If you're not using the Install Manager, it's just a matter of clicking the download link...
I still have DS4.5 in my Product Library also (though it's just the 32-bit version for some reason). If you don't want to run DS4.6 for some reason, you should be able to manually download DS4.5 if you see it in your Product Library. DAZ Studio 4.5 (and earlier) was never available for download through the Install Manager...everyone had to get it manually.
