Where are the ReadMe files for D/S 4.6 content, please?

I'd like to know how to get to the readme files for content I install in D/S 4.6. I worked out where the readmes for my freebies are, but for items installed with InstallManager, it's still a mystery.

I've looked everywhere I can think of on my computer and searched for help in the forums as well. Not coming up with the answer so far. I'm not sure if the advice I've found in the forum so far was for 4.6 or not, but it didn't help.

    In Install Manager, click on the letter i in the circle next to an item, and it will take you to the online readme.

    All my DIM installed files have a readme in my Content folder in the ReadMe folder. They are the same ones you get if you use the I in DIM.

    But for the newer content you won't get any if you don't install via DIM. If you unzip and "drag and drop", there'll be no readme.
    In that case you'll have to go to the Product Index of the DAZ 3D Documentation Center and look them up by sku and product name.

    Alternatively, when inside DAZ Studio, you can leftclick on the product icon in the "Products" view of the Smart Content Tab and choose "Read Me".

    Some new products simple don't include a ReadMe in the installer, it has nothing to do with whether you used DIM or not to install.

    I tend to disagree on the "some" thingy. I have yet to see a DIM installer for a newly published product (those which didn't were delivered formerly in an executable format) has a Read Me inside. Even some, which included one in the past, has it dropped (like the "Genesis Evolution" and Gen4 Shapes' DIM installers). Don't get me wrong, I don't see this negaitve, as long as I can click the icon in DS and the (most recent) Read Me pops up without a 404 error 'cuz DAZ changed something on their end again I'm quite happy. :)
