Problem with DAZ Pro Characters and expression morph errors
PROBLEM
I recently started a project to remove morphs that were generating errors and slowing character loads. I was able to remove all of the problem morphs execpt for a group related to expression morphs for Daz Pro Characters.
- Example: 2020-09-24 17:50:07.938 WARNING: ..\..\..\..\..\src\sdksource\fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(6681): Could not find target property for formula: Genesis8Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/DAZ%203D/Expressions/eCTRLWink_HD.dsf#eCTRLWink?value in file : /data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/DAZ%203D/Victoria%208/eJCMVictoria8Wink_HDLv2.dsf
ACTIONS
- Uninstalled DAZ, DAZ Install Manager, the database, and selected to not keep any settings. I followed up by I also deleted all of the folders that were left behind, and did a deep registery clean with Glary Utilities 5 Pro.
- Fresh download of DAZ of DAZStudio_4.12.1.118_Win64 and DAZ installer and installed on the default locations of the C:Drive for the application and my content directoy on my G:Drive. Clearly not all of the registery must have been cleaned because the DAZ installer defaulted to my content being on the G:Drive without me having to input it.
- Fresh download of all Starter packages from Genesis to Genesis 8 and installed.
- Started DAZ and Genesis 8 Male and Genesis 8 Female loaded without errors.
- Fresh download of Michael 8 and Victor 9 and installed. Once I loaded either Michael or Victoria the same expresion morph errors occur in the error log.
NEXT STEPS?
Now I am at a loss of what to do now. Any ideas? Below is a list of all of the errors when loading Victor 8 as well as a snapshot of my Content Directory settings.

Those warnings are there because V8 includes automatic adjustment morphs supposed to apply when you use other morphs, and you don't have those other morphs installed.
In this case, those seem to be adjustment morphs for some of the G8F head and body morphs. Installing those morphs should fix the warnings.
The expression files like "eCTRLWink_HD.dsf" can be found in "Genesis 8 Female Expressions"

Moved to Daz Studio Discussion as it is not a scripting topic.
Thank you! That is the answer. It seems crazy to me that this is not listed as a required for installation of Victoria 8 given that it will generated errors if not present. This was all I saw for requirements on the product page for Victoria 8
This product requires installation of either Genesis 8 Starter Essentials through Daz Connect or both Genesis 8 Female Starter Essentials and Genesis 8 Female PowerPose Templates through Daz Install Manager. Product Library, DIM or Daz Connect.
Those are not errors, they're warnings. V8 works as intended without those morphs, so they're not required.
