Daz Studio - How do I uninstall

edited December 1969 in The Commons

I used DIM to download and install Daz. It's got errors. What a POC!

I can't find a Daz uninstaller. I use Win 7 64 bit. All I see in programs is DIM & Content management service. I see no Daz3d.

This is frustrating. I think I'll stick with Poser. This is crap!

Thanks for the help

    Use the DIM. Just go to the installed tab, scroll down till you find the DAZ Studio installation and there should be an uninstall option. If not right click on it and it's there!

    Thanks! Got it. Maybe I'll try again another day.

    DIM installs only have DIM Uninstall? Not for Programs or Plugins on my PC. Was that the Beta Version?

    It means the Windows Installer service is either stopped or corrupt. If it's corrupt you'll need to reinstall it.

    To make sure in your desktop Start area type in control and you'll see control.exe made available. Click that and up will pop your Control Panel. Click on the Administrative Tools and then Services. Scroll down till you see Windows Installer. Click it once to hilight it and see if you see "manual" under Startup Type. If it's saying Stopped then right click and click Start. Try what ever your trying to do again and if it's still not operational then you'll need to go out to the Microsoft website and find a new Windows Installer to download and install. Should take care of it.

    Thanks. It hadn't been started. Although....I started it, I get the same error. This is a brand new system. I got it yesterday.

    And now this?

    I'm wondering if DIM a screwed up on downloading the file?

    I'll re-download it without DIM

    Yes, sometimes new systems, who ever sets them up, are not thinking outside the box. MSVCP100.dll and MSVCP100d.dll are part of the Microsoft Visual Studio 10 runtime.

    Try downloading and installing the package and then see if that doesn't fix that issue.

    Oh, well you must have that dll on your machine. Usually it's found in the Windows>System32 folder. If it's not you need to do a system search for it then copy and paste into the System 32 folder of your Windows directory!

    I have it. By the way.....DS installed without any errors when I used a bitrock installer instead of DIM. I still don't know why I got those errors?

    Good to know about DS but if your dll is in the right folder I wonder why your getting that feedback from the system? What program is raising that issue? Sometimes if you just copy a library to the programs folder it quits complaining so that might be something you could try. Shouldn't hurt anything.

    I only got that error when using DIM to install DS. I'm still wondering if DIM downloaded the whole package? Copy what library to which programs folder?

    How do I know if I have plug-ins for Daz?

    Thanks

    The library I'm referring to is the .dll library (yes, dll is "dynamic link library" or dll). If your just getting this error message using DIM then I'd try reinstalling it. Seems odd. I've never had an issue with this amazing piece of software.
