Several scripts are giving me a "error opening file" message

Several of the scripts that I regularly go to are giving me an error message. These include "Content Wizard"  and "Marsa Anaglyph3d". The problem didn't occur until I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021. I don't know if there is a connection between the two things and I have not tried uninstalling Elements. Any suggestions?

    It looks like you have mixed DAZ Connect content and standard install content. Many (all?) scripts have issues with Connect. Try uninstalling Contant Wizard (and other scripts with issues) through Connect, and reinstall them with DIM, Central, or manually.

    There is no absolute problem between scripts adn Connect, I have for example used  http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/file_find/start to replace a defective read-me launcher in some Connect installs and it works fine. The script does have to be written in a way that allows for the content not being in the root content folder, however, and some scripts need to walk the content directory looking for other installed products which can be a bit trickier to implement if it needs to be open-ended.

    Content Wizard needs to be installed via DIM,  It fails to work when installed by Daz Central or Daz Connect.  RiversoftArt is aware of this but as of yet hasn't found a solution

  • I really appreciate the help and I see the lines that reference Daz Connect but I can't figure our how connect got involved. I have always used DIM to install my Daz purchases since it first came out.and per the attachment you can see it in DIM under installed files. I'm old and retired and don't work with scripts so if someone can  type really slowly and walk me through this I would be really appreciative it. When I use DIM I keep the "install after downlooad" checked. I like Richards suggestion that I uninstall the product using Connect but I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I assume that I would then uninstall it using DIM and reinstall. Am I even close?

  • Content Wizard doesn't show up in Smart Content but is in my content library under products. Right clicking it gives me an uninstall option.Does this eliminate the 'Connect" file and can I then reinstall it using DIM.

    In the smart content pane remove the checkmark frim "Filter By Context"

    Click on "All Products"  then in the seach box enter "Content" & it should show up.

    Right click on the "Content Wizard" icon and select "Uninstall"

    Close Daz Studio

    Finally uninstall "Content Wizard" via DIM & Re-Install it via DIM

  • I haven't lost interest in this issue but did lose my internet connection for a while. I followed Platnumk's suggestion however I pull up content wizard and right click on it 1) it shows that I need to download it using connect and 2) there is no uninstall option, only an install option. When  I browse to the file location on the product I wind up in C:\users\Public\Public Documents\My Daz 3D Library and there it is. I am not finding it in my Daz Connect.

  • I solved the problem (sort of) by sheer accident. I set up a new user on my computer, went to the C:/Program files, found the Daz app and created a shortcut on the desktop. When I load Daz for this user the content that was giving me a problem (Content Wizard, Marsa Anaglyph3d etc.) all load and work.

    I just noticed that there is an uninstaller in the same programs file as the Daz startup program. Does it do anything differently than the uninstall in DIM which doesn't appear to completely remove Daz. It seems to leave stuff, probably in the registry, so that uninstalling with dim then downloading and installing a new copy of Daz from the website results in exactly the same setup that existed before.
