I'm finally getting back into DAZ after 18+ months away. Finally have enough time to now get back into it completely.

So tonight I had DAZ Install Manager(1.1.0.41) download & install everything I've purchased, including DAZ 4.8(for 64bit). I'm using Win 10/64.

But DIM gave me an error message for my main V4 content(V4 base package, Morphs, Morphs++, skin shaders, V4 Elite content, some clothes, and various other non-related things like Ron's Brushes, etc. The error messages read:

"Install Manager cannot find a required path. The package for V4.....requires that the install path be defined. Make sure that a path for this application is present on the Applications page of the Settings dialog, then try again."

Okay, the correct install path should be Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ3D/Library shouldn't it? In DIM I chose the option to have it install content to the recommended path which is exactly that. That's the Content Files Install To path. For Content Path Shortcuts, it's on the "Recommended DAZ...." setting. For "Content Updates Install To" I've tried both "Respective Installed Paths" and Selected Installed Path." The 64 & 32 bit content is set to install to the DIM default locations for Programs & Programs(x86) respectively. The Plug-Ins & Shaders Install to C/Program Files/DAZ 3D/Studio 4. All this seems to be correct & the recommended/default settings for DIM. So what's going on? I've got about a dozen things, most importantly Victoria 4 that's not being installed. What IS the Required Path?

And the Applications Page and Settings dialog? Is that referring to DIM or within DAZ 4.8 itself? Because I don't see it in either.
