    Both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions can be installed with the DAZ Install Manager (DIM)

    Ok Thanks, is it a stand alone program? How do I start it in Daz 3D?

    No, it is a plugin for DAZ Studio, and it is installed by DIM into the Plugins folder in the Applications folder.

    You load it in DAZ Studio from Window > Panes (Tabs) > Mimic Live.

    Ok I go to my order and click on the download and install button, I have to log in again. Then when I get to dim it just stalls.
    No download.

    Is it showing in the Ready to Download tab in DIM? What happens when you click on the Download button?

    DIM never downloads anything so the queue is always ghosted.

    Has filters have anything to do with it?

    Are you saying pressing the download button in DIM doesn't work? Pressing the button on the web page should launch DIM with those products pre-selected, but you still need to press the "Start Queue" button to start the downloads.

    Yes I click on button on web page dim opens and nothing happens. Now the last time I tryer it I went into filters and added plugins then it started the down load but its no where to be found in Daz. Am I right that lip sink only works in 32 bit and
    Mimic works with 64 bit as well.

    THE FOURTH AND ONLY said:

    Does the download fail, or the install fail, or does it say it installed but you don't see it inside DAZ Studio?

    The 64 bit version should go into 'Program Files' as opposed to 'Program Files (x86)' which is for 32 bit apps.

    Are you running the 64 bit version of DS? Check in DIM, select the plugin in the Installed tab, right click, and select Show Installed Files. The links are clickable, and should take you to the folder that the plugin was installed to.

    If it is installed to the correct folder, you should find it in Window > Panes (Tabs) > Mimic Live. You can also check in Help > About Installed Plugins in DS to see if it installed correctly.

    Thanks are the files dragable. Meaning can I drag them from one folder to the other so the program will work .

    You would be much safer in uninstalling again using DIM, and then re-installing to the correct folder, it only takes a few short minutes.

    You can drag and drop them to the correct location, but you would need to make sure that you get them all, and DIM would not be aware of the new location, and couldn't uninstall again.
