HI All

I've sporadically tried to update daz via DIM. It shows it there as Hidden item. Still i run it, it then shows only the UNINSTALL option in DIMS but when i go to the default installation location on my Win11 pc it only has version 4.20.0.2. In DIMS it indicates 4.21, but the actual monthy auto update it says 4.20.0.5 i believe. 

Any suggestions? I have in the past uninstalled daz but barely managed to reinstall 4.20 again. This is strange for sure.

    What does Help>About Daz Studio say? The current General Release is 4.21.0.5

    Hi Richard

    IT says 4.20.0.2 Pro Edition (64bit) to be exact. And as you can see in attached, when i select Hidden in DIMS - Ready to download its there. It installs as i said but then nothing. DIMS think it installs but it doesnt. When you close DIMS and reopen it looks like its back to Hidden and wants to download again.

    As you can see in 2nd image it's aparantly installed but it's not. There's no date to being installed and the "i" for information brings up an error when clicked on.

    Are you sure you don't have 4.20.0.2 installed too (32 bit, or with the standalone installer) and that that is not what you are launching? Check the Daz 3D group in All Programs, if you use Windows.

    Ok, so as im sure if you can remember I have a work pc and a Render pc. I am now typing on the Render pc and i just managed to upgrade to 4.21. So that is working nicely.

    However its the Work pc that it seems refusing to update. I will see if it shows up in the All Programs. So I'll post that later.

    Ok, so i copied the DAZStudio4 folder in Program files/daz3d folder from the Render pc and placed it into Program Files/daz3d on Work pc.

    It's working now seeing as DIMS refuses to install it. It's not the proper way but at least both are up to date now. Also on both i keep getting the postgresql error but all seems to work fine still. It's not my antivirus as it's never been an issue. So that is the next challenge i have to fix.

    So for now, i'll just say thx for help Richard and close this call i think.
