Content Not Installing - Getting "Install Failed!" on Everything

I'd love to be able to use DAZ Studio, but none of the content will install. Content I've paid money for. 

All I get when using both DIM and DC is "Install Failed!". Running Win10 with all the latest updates. 

Last night I wiped all of DAZ off my system, uninstalled everything, deleted every directory with DAZ in it, ran a registry cleaner to get rid of all references. And then today began re-installing everything, DIM being the first thing. But I can't get beyond it because no content will install. 

I've attached my log file.

    I scanned through your log. Many items were installed successfully. Towards the end, the were apparently problems with the millennium horse?

    I saw problems extracting files. Do you use the default folder locations for your original files? I always choose my own folder locations, and tell DIM where to find the originals, etc.

    The log looks like a mess... At times it says the OS is Windows 8 and at other places Windows 10

    Whatever it is reading has errors "Syntax error - expected '{' or '['" and it's looking for files at weird places like "D:/Qt/..." and "C:\DAZDevel\Hudson\HUDSON_HOME\" (Note the use of / and \ for the same purpose)

    To me it looks like the installers are the problem (surprise), you should write a ticket and attach that log in it.

    Thanks for your feedback. Once I attempted to move the location of the content installation file, but that really messed things up, so I stopped that. LOL! I would like to be able to properly do it because it seems the DAZ way of installing things is pretty haphazard.

    I totally agree - that log file is a mess! 

    The Windows 8 comes from an attempt of mine to run DAZ in a Windows 8 emulation to see if that would fix the issue... it didn't. LOL! 

    Thanks for your advice, I'll start a ticket and see where that gets me.
