Photoshop Bridge Installation Help

Okay, I'm driving myself crazy trying to find the solution to this on-line. I've seen others with a similar problem, but the workarounds I've tried have netted zero.

I can't get the Photoshop Bridge to show up in CS5.
DIM version 1.1.0.28
Daz pro 4.7 64 bit
CS5 64 bit

When I install from DIM, it puts it in the Adobe plug ins folder, and I can "intialize bridge" in Daz, but there's no option for it in CS5.

I've tried downloading the bridge file on it's own, but when I double click to install I get the error: The installation path for DAZ Studio could not be found. "3D Bridge DS4 (64bit)" cannot be installed. Setup will now quit.

I'm at my wit's end. I only hope if I do find a way to make it work, it's worth all the effort I'm putting into it. Any suggestions???

    When installed properly, the script in Photoshop will show up in File > Automate > Daz Studio 3D Bridge.

    When you say DIM puts it in Adobe's plug-in folder, is it the correct one? Meaning the Plug-ins folder for your actual Photoshop 64bit installation location (for example, I have 2 folders. Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit))?

    Are you opening CS5 32bit by mistake?

    Can you post a screenshot of your app paths in DIM? Upper right cog wheel > applications tab. Expand the window so the paths can be seen.

    I actually got fed up and deleted the 32bit version, just to ensure somehow things weren't getting confused. I pointed DIM to C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plug-ins

    One of the many attempts at solving this problem that I've made.

    Point DIM to the main app path, not the plug-ins subdirectory. See my screen above I added.

    The files show up in the Plug-ins folder...

    When I go to File/Automate in photoshop...no Daz bridge. I'm thinking it must be something on CS5s end.

    I'm wondering if it's because your install is in the official C:\Program Files. User Access Control could be interfering.

    Where else would/should I have installed it?

    Anywhere outside of the default Program Files. You could create a C:\Programs and use that if you don't have another drive.

    Okay. Guess it won't hurt to try that.

    Thanks!

    Np. If even that doesn't work, then I'm stumped. It should work on CS3+. I can already tell from your first post that you're using the 64bit version of the bridge. Usually the 32/64bit mixing is the culprit.
