Victoria 4 loading issue

I have not been able to access any of my earlier DS content which is Victoria and Michael, no point in asking me why this is the case, if I knew the answer I would perhaps be able to resolve the problem.

So some drastic action was required, which may be the end up being the answer but somehow I doubt it.

So I have copied my content library from my hard drive to an external drive which both gives me the opportunity to re install it from there and also to have a back up.

I have used DIM to remove the current version of DS from my machine, and all my installed content from my library.

From here I have re loaded DAZ Studio and the included content, which seems to have gone fine. That is DS opens and I am able to load G9 content that was included. 

Next I selectively manually loaded all the basic V4 and Victoria4   content that I have in my library, Victoria 4 base and shapes ++ and V4 Elite body shapes. I can now load V4.2 and V4.2 to V3 but keep getting this error message when I load V4.2. 

So somehow I am missing some component. I have followed the path for the missing file and it is not included in install file, which means it cannot be loaded. How can I overcome this problem.

Why am I doing this. Well because I have loads of Victoria content, characters, props and clothes, that I can use if I can get this content to work.

    What does your content libraries look like, both Daz Studio and Poser?

    Can you find the file in that path?

    Did you install the PowerLoader components for Victoria 4 (does the thumbnail have a scroll icon in the top corner)? If not you will need to do so or, if you don't mind simply configuring everything to load at once, simply go to the Content Library isntalled to then Runtime/Libraries/!DAZ (the path from the error message) and run DzCreateExPFiles-v4. You need one of those steps to generate the script files that load all the data for the morph sets, without them you just get the bare-bones figure.

    Hi Richard

    Yes i installed PowerLoader for V4 ( no idea about the scroll icon) and I have no idea how to run DzCreateExPFiles-v4, can you explain how I do this. I am using a Mac by the way

    On a Mac you would want the .command file, but it may be that mac security updates will block that. Do you get a dialgue box when you load Victoria 4? If not, how about if you hold down the cmd key while double-clicking on its icon to load it?
