New Cpmputer - how to re-install certain DAZ version

AndyS

Hi Folks,

finally I migrated to a new PC (Win10).
For DAZ I moved all of my content onto the new PC. Same for the complete DIM folders. None of the DAZ applications is stored on the new program-HDD. The installation should be performed by DIM (again).

Now the question:
How to tell DIM to install a defined version of DAZ-Studio?
On my old PC I had the 4.9.2 full version and the 4.10 beta installed via DIM.

On my new PC (although no DAZ applicatio installed) DIM shows the beta 4.11 as installed. Although I have only the 4.9 full version install files (zip + dsx) in the DIM download folder, no DAZ version is shown as "ready to install".
Which screw to turn?

Set DIM to work offline and you will be able to access the older versions. As long as DIM is online it will show the avaialble update and not the older copy in the downloads folder.

Hi Richard,

the point is, DIM doesn't show any DAZ-Studio full version. If I follow your statement, DIM should display the current 4.10 as downloadable update. But nothing ...
On the other hand it shows the 4.11 beta as installed, although even on my old PC I only had the 4.10 beta and the 4.11 beta as jet not downloaded update option.

And so the different InstallManager folders on my old and new PC are complete mirrors, the totally different behaviour of DIM is disturbing.

Check the Download Filters, though that wouldn't ffect what showed in the Ready to Install tab.

Yea OK,

but why does DIM show 4.11 beta installed, although I never had it on my PC?

The name of the package is always the current name, from the store, while you are connected to Daz and assuming it's from the store (rather than a copy given to you by the PA directly, such as a testing reward, or a package created using the likes of Content Package Assistant)). If you work offline, or if it isn't from the store, it should show the name in its manifest file
