I was emailed a DUF file (DAZ user file).

From google search, it seems that this file contains other files that I need, since I wish to open it in DAZ 4 (64 bit)

    Yes, you will need the content that the .duf file contains. If a .duf file contained the actual content it would not be permissible to share it (and it would be wasteful on space), instead it has pointers to the models and textures needed and stores only the local settings (poses and so on).

    Any idea why DAZ 4 comes up with an error when I attempt to open the DUF file ?

    Error message "NO IMPORTER FOR THE FILE FORMAT CAN BE FOUND"

    How are you trying to open it?

    And what is your operating system? What version of Studio are you running (exact version Help > about DAZ Studio)

    That sounds more like an OS message than a Studio one.

    DAZ 4 (ver 4.0.3.47) 64 bit
    OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit

    I am in DAZ 4, attempting to open DUF file, I also attempting to Import. Both methods give me the same error

    4.0 does not support .duf, which was introduced in 4.5

    Thank you Mike, so I ended up installed Daz 4.8 64 bit, through DAZ Install Manager. Along with 4.8, which downloaded "Genesis 2" figures. Along with an error made I attempt to add Genesis 2, to a new scene.

    And a new error of one missing file: /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 2/Male/Genesis2Male.dsf

    Since DAZ Install Manager downloaded this yesterday and installed it, why did there a missing file ??

    a) Did you install Genesis 2 Male Starter Essentials?
    b) Since you had DS4.0 installed, your settings were carried over, which don't include the default install path that DAZ Install Manager uses. In DS go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager and add the path you're using in DIM under both "DAZ Studio Formats" and "Poser Formats". The default DIM path under Windows is C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library.
