Ever since I installed Daz 4.12 on my new computer, every time I attempt an iray render I get an error message that says "Unable to render. No renderer available". Which basically means I can only render in 3delight. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Daz Studio twice in an attempt to fix it, but it still won't render.

In case it's relevant my computer is an HP with 8 GB ram, 1 TB hard drive, a 3 GHz processor, and windows 10. No graphics card, just the integrated graphics that came with the computer

I have done a bit of searching around and in most instances the "unable to render" error seems to be connected to some kind of failed install. In most occassions it seems to be solved by re-downloading the installation package and reinstalling.

There are a number of ways you can download the installation package from Daz including Dim or Manual download, have you tried both?

Make sure when reinstalling or deleting DS that you do so from a clean boot also. As DS has a few components that take a while to finish after you quit DS, and may be still running in the background even after a bit of time has passed.

You may need to raise a ticket with Daz if installation continues to fail in this way.

Also make sure you don't have DS open when installing/updating.

OK, reinstalling with the DIM seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks, Razor, for the suggestion.

Rendering in IRAY with no GPU support and 8 gigs of system RAM? You're a braver man than I am Gunga Din.
