Go Z Installation

bicc39

I have two versions of DAZ Studio installed.

One is 4.8 and is installed on the regular  C drive. This version has GoZ installed and it works great, this

version and pipeline will not be touched under any circumstances.

The second version is 4.9 installed on a second internal drive.

4.9 does not have the GoZ plugin, that is the problem.

As time passes my distaste for 4.9 grows ( personal preference) however as time passes there are things that work

on 4.9 that do not work on 4.8. So I try to swith back and forth.

Biggest hurdle is 4.9 running and installing GoZ which I use constantly on 4.8.

Whenever I run the GoZ plugin installer in an attempt to install it on the 4.9 in the second drive, I receive an error message

because installtion is trying to install on the C drive.

I wish to install the GoZ plugin to DAZ 4.9 on a second drive, I do not wish to  create a conflict with my existing

installaton. The installer does not give choices for installing. Is it possible to obtain the files used and copy and paste?

This has become a bigger problem lately because of certain scenes created in 4.9 not opening in 4.8.

I realize this post is of a slight rambling nature but to be frank it is a problem of enormous importance to

me going forward.

Thank you

You can have only one version of the DS GoZ plug-in installed at a time - I don't know why the 4.9 version would insist on going to the C: drive, though; if this using DIM or the standalone installer?

Only one installer now, the manual one for 4.9, you are given no choice as to the installation folder, defaults to C drive.

In my attempts to do this actually created a problem with the original.

The installer uninstalled the working version on C with 4.8. It then attempted to install fresh on C where the program 4.9 did not exist

Believe it is possible to have more than one version as far as zbrush is concerned.

Have two versions of Maya, simple matter of telling zbrush which one is current

Do not wish to commit to 4.9 only at this time.

There is another thread where I mentioned creating a scene in 4.8, utilizing the Zbrush morph ability, saving, opening

in 4.9. doing basically nothing and from that point on could not return to 4.8

More and more simple scenes that somehow involve 4.9 are crashing in 4.8.

The day of reckoning is approaching, I am afraid, if could solve this problem, would be able to forestall that day for

awhile.

Will chalk this up to another "work around"

Thank you Mr. Haseltine, for your time and patience

Apologies and correction and success.

Did not notice on install page that you could use DIM.

Used the program to download, intercepted and rearranged files.

All ok, thank lyou
