Missing files not Missing.

I try to load in something it says files missing I search for files they exist. So what could the problem be? I installed it different decided to put the whole folder there after unzipping everything, however, I have done it the typical method as well as in copy all the content into that folder in its separate folders and it seems to make no difference.

    Exactly where is the file? Are you usign the default content diectories, or have you added/changed them?

    I put all my stuff in my documents, daz 3d, studio, my library. Almost always it works. I did recently just unzip everything and put the whole folder in there to see if that would work or not. I thought that was the cause so I took that folder out and just copied what was just in the folders into it but that still did nothing.

    What is the full path, it's very easy to end up with extra folders that shouldn't be there.

    is not the first time existing missing files reported, 
    in some product i fix manualy some mistake, because thay are not in the place where the script target
    - some product have exact same name but in another folder!
    - some product have "wrong" names !
    best use is to use explorer search and found the missing file,

    in some case script report missing file due to a "bad name"


    as example, i found a product who ask to "jumpsuit(2)", so, i rename the existing file "jumpsuit" to "jumpsuit(2)" but,,,
    on next load the script ask for the "jumpsuit" withtout (2)
    so i copy paste the same picture and use the two names,, - that fixed the script!

    be sure your product is full "stand alone"
    sometime product is an ADD ON and required based product or it use main default DAZ files

    I deleted the folder and such and just installed it as per usual and then it worked for some reason. I guess the lesson here is to not take shortcuts and cgo into the content folder and copy all the stuff to the Studio folder. I thought I was going to be smart so I did not have to dig down and copy it over lol. It seems to be working for now.
