    Download or install? It sounds as if you are on a Mac - is that so? Are you using the DAZ Install Manager or the stand-alone installer?

    You are probably using OS X (path says so). As Richard said, are you Installing DAZ Studio or installing the Install Manager. The simples solution is to create that directory, as for some reason the installer is prevented my OS X to create that directory. It's extremely rare and my guess it's related to permissions, might solve it by repair permissions using Disk Utility also.

    I encountered this same error. In my case it was a permissions problem. On my Macbook, I have an administrative user and a regular (non-admin) user. I encountered this error when trying to install as a regular user. Here are the steps I followed to correct.

    1. Log in with administrative account
    2. Opened terminal and typed in the following

    cd /Applications
    mkdir 'DAZ 3D'
    chmod 777 'DAZ 3D'

    3. Re logged as the regular user and completed installation
