DIM "Install Failed!"; "Could not extract" in the log

PSIExperience

Hi. I was having issues with Daz being unable to save scenes or renders and DIM being unable to install content, so I decided to do a complete clean reinstall. I uninstalled every piece of content and software, deleted all DAZ installed folders, and deleted Daz from the registry.

Starting with a new install of DIM, I was able to install Daz Studio 4.12 beta, Postgre SQL CMS beta, Scene Builder for Daz studio beta, and GoZ for Daz Studio beta (all 64 bit) successfully. I closed DIM, ran Daz 4.12 once, closed it, and then attempted to install content. Here's the problem: every piece of content I try to install results in "Install Failed!". Checking the log reveals the following:

I have no idea what would cause this to be unable to extract. DIM won't let me run it as administrator and as far as I can tell there is no issue with my Documents folder that would prevent me from changing files in it. Daz is essentially unusable at the moment. I have already double checked that those folders are not set to read only, and I can manually extract files to them without issue.

What security software are you using?

Avast. As soon as I read that, I opened it up and added both the Daz folders that I'm trying to install the content to and the various Daz executables as exceptions in the Avast options. I then ran DIM, which asked me to update it. I updated it, then tried to install everything.  It seems to be working now.

In hindsight, this was a very stupid thing to do, because now I don't know if it was the update to DIM that fixed it or if it was adding the exceptions to the antivirus. What I should have done was try installing with the previous version first.  Sorry about that.

I'm about to setup a test render and see if Daz Studio lets me save.
