DIM Error - Error connecting to CMS. Cannot be started by client.
Hello. Long story, here is a choppy gist of where I'm at: I was having an issue getting a plugin to work (Measure Metrics) and spent hours trying to sort that out getting frustrated with the cluster that is the Daz file organization structure, but ultimately deicded to just clear everything Daz related off my computer and try a new install. I have saved all my assets to an external hard drive to reintegrate after the new install. After (I believe) clearing all Daz related things off my computer, I reinstalled Daz Central on my Mac and attempted to get Daz Studio back from there, but the install keeps getting stuck and restarting and freezing so I decided to try DIM instead. I downloaded DIM on my Mac. I am able to successfully download DAZ Studio 4.20 (Mac 64-Bit) but then when I go to install it says "Install Failed!". Can anyone help me figure out what is going on and why I cannot get it installed? Below is the Helper Log File:

First hint, Install using DIM (DAZ Install Manager), not DAZ Central on macOS.
That is literally what I said I am trying to do though, and where I am getting my latest error. I am asking for help within DIM.
Are you running DIM from an account with sudo rights (Can admin the computer)?.
This looks a bit strange:
2022-03-08 23:08:41.140 Location = /Users/[username]/Applications
Should be:
2022-03-08 23:08:41.140 Location = /Applications/DAZ 3D
You can set this undet advanced settings -> Installation in DIM
