Downloaded content import?

Hi
been away from Carrara for a few years, and the other day I went and bought C8.5 Pro. Installed the program no problem. I'm busy downloading extra content now (M5, V5 etc) There doesn't seem to be installers for the content, so my question is where do I install the stuff? The zipped files usually contain folders: Content and Manifest. Where must I copy them into? Or what is the procedure/file path? Thanx.

    They need to go into the Carrara program folder.

    Is it the "Carrara 8.5" folder, coz each time I drag and drop the files it askes me to merge them, as they have the same name (Content) and even tho he content shows in the content tree afterwards (when I launch Carrara) it won't import them into a scene.

    Are you on a Mac or PC and what operating system? If you on a Win7 system it should go into C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\Carrara+version #. I'm assuming your installing the files manually and not using DIM, correct?

    I'm on a win8 pc. Yes, manually. The items do show in Carrara under Content Runtime, they're allocated to respective subfolders, ie. characters, props etc. But they won't load.
    64 bit if that makes any difference, although I doubt it

    I have only installed basic stuff so far, but I did it like this. I simply dragged them from out of the content folder and put them in the Carrara folder.

    Mind you my install is not to the C drive.

    when you added as a folder did you add as a runtime if so that is wrong.

    You need to add as content as this is all DS content, Runtime is only for items in a poser runtime structure.

    this is mine

    Ok I think I solved it. I imported the Content folder from within the program's browser and it works now. Now to see if it will update the library each time I add content files to Carrara folder. Thanx everyone for your help.
