Manual Install - missing content

Hello! Sorry if the answer is here somewhere, I tried searching and couldn't find it.  I've actually been trying for a week now. Anyway, I'm trying to install some content by MCasual - specifically his guitars, like this one

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts5/mcjteleblaster

I download the zip file, I unzip it into the stated directory:

C:\Users\public\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library

...;  but I can't find anything in the content library or Smart content. I've don't everything I can think of: searches come back empty, even with the metadata ticked on. I've restarted, of course, I've searched multiple times for new content, directories, etc. I've searched through "All Files" but it isn't listed there.  I can't figure out how to search by file location.  I'm using DAZ 4.9, but I still have 4.7 installed, and can't find it with that one either. I do have, through backup processes, multiple copies of everything, but I've made sure to install it into each directory and still nothing.Any suggestions? Thanks!

Manual install is the most reliable ever you can get in DAZ Studio. No DIM or Connect issues with it. You just can't miss anything. It is simply not possible. Unless the file itself is corrupted.

In this case if you look at the zip file you'll see there's no data folder in it. So this is not a DAZ Studio asset. It is a Poser asset. You will find it in the Poser Formats inside the Content Library tab.

I don't have the window with the directories on the left - just the search bar on top and the results window. How do I get the window to display?

Manual installs sometimes require you to reimport your meta data

It sounds as if you have collapsed the folder list - look for a darker rectangle part way down the left hand frame edge (for a side-by-side listing) or twice in the divider above the 0 in the search results pane and click on it (or on the lower of the two) to re-expand the list.

That's the "knob" Richard is talking about. Also check if the pane is active at all (meu > window > panes > content library).

Where can I place downloaded  Rocker Outfit.... from the Daz 3d  Product Library.

Do I place it in the documents folder/my library?

The stuff from the Content folder in the zip goes in the My Library folder - the matching foldrs (Data, Runtime, people) need to merge together.
