Quote - I dont know that it's they dont run correctly so much as it is that you're not always told the rules of engagement.

A whole bunch of times I've seen that people took exactly the right steps, the installer appears to run correctly, the updater is run and appears to have run normally, but the figure still doesn't get updated correctly and no error is given.  I remember one in particular (Daveso I think it was) where he ran it 4 or 5 times, and even though it never gave him any kind of message back, it did something different on the final run (which worked).  Keep in mind that updater has no interactive options, you just run it and it "does stuff" silently (i.e. if it doesn't run correctly it can't possibly be user's fault).

I don't have any input about the error pictured above, except that it probably has to do with user permissions or the lack thereof.  Call DAZ via telephone in US daytime and get them to help you - the more people that burden their support services, the more likely it is they'll be motivated to make their installers more robust.

ps: flattered to see a bunch of my items in that pic :)
