"Could not find target property for formula:" what does it mean?

MrWizard1024

I'm regularly getting error messages like this in my log file when I load a scene -- what do they mean and how do I fix these errors (if errors they are)? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the latest versions of Genesis, various hair and wardrobe items, and I continue to get errors like these:

It means there's a link to something that doesn't exist (as may happen if there's support for an add on shape you don't have, or here if there's an explicit link to scale which is no longer supported).

I have many of these since installing for example Auto Face Enhancer

I read various names in these log entries like, Stephanie, Monique, Olympia etc. I don't have any of these. So can it is probably like you say Richard that these are entries to support characters wich I don't own?

1. Are these slowing my startup down or affecting my installation in any negative way? 
2. Out of curiosity: Is there a way to disable/delete the files so these "errors" don't appear anymore? Where are these files installed? Is it in Data/.../Morphs?
