Daz3d Content Library Error

When I try to load a file from the content library, I get the error:

Resource Error
Could not open file : C:/Users//Documents/Poser Pro 2012 Content/Downloads/DAZ Studio Tutorials/Genesis Barefoot Dancer/FIGURE - Barefoot Dancer.duf

NOWHERE in my Daz3d configuration is there ever a mention of Poser Pro 2012, so I have no idea why it is trying to find it there.

If anyone could shed any light on this and help me resolve this error, I would greatly appreciate it.

    What is the file you are trying to load? At first glance it looks like an issue with content being installed to the wrong place, and so Daz can't find the necessary files. Assuming it was installed via the Daz Install Manager, ensure the folder it installs to is the same as your Daz content folder. If it was installed manually, be sure you haven't accidentally created any duplicate folders (ie Daz Studio\Content\Content ) as some occasionally do.

    Do you have Poser Pro 2012? I am pretty sure it also uses the User/[user name]/Documents for some of its content libraries now.

    Are you trying to load something from inside D|S or Poser? That /Downloads/ folder is really only reliable in Poser, D|S doesn't like to use it as a content location for D|S-format files, and I'm fairly sure that D|S tutorial shouldn't be in a Poser folder anyway.

    At current All files which need for the tutoriall, are included in genesis2 female starter essential.
    I do not know, if there was bare foot tutoriall as sepalate contents before,,

    (daz sometimes offer tutorialls as individual products with installer or zip,
    but when version up ds, include them with starter essential, or build in contents etc,,
    it sometimes confuse me to clean un-install and keep not duplicate files)

    best way seems, you better un-install the files of the tutoriall (maybe bear foot dancer)
    which you had installed before,(if you have not downloaded or not installed them, next step)

    after that un-install Genesis2 female starter essential kits.

    then re-install Genesis2 female starter essential to Current ds contents directory,
    by DIM or manually un-zip then locate them your ds root contents directory.

    (as default, DIM C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library)
    on the other hand,, if you install daz studio manually,
    they set content root as different directory(Or I do not remember clear)

    To check problem, usually need to know where is your current root directory for ds and poser contents.

    Can you show DS setting pic of directory manager? to show where DS recognize as contents directory
    Edit>preference>Content library group> click show directory manager (the bottom)
    then extract for daz studio contents directory and poser contents directory.(click +)

    and when you install contents,by DIM or installer how you set Content root directory?
    if you use DIM may need to check configulation to install DS contents.
