Currently unnamed creature of the night.
Sounds like missing files. Try installing DAZ Central app to download and install DAZ products directly.
NO!!!
DO not install DAZ Central - this app is pure beginners crap and known for messing up your files.
Use DIM or manual install, but NEVER DAZ Central.

You must be registered to see the links

Never had a problem with messing up files. You say it's 'known' for messing up files. Could you point me to where that info comes from. I'd like to look into it.
Daz Central is in fact widely known to be a step back / mess up things that used to work. It's much better to just use DIM as it has been around for years.

somehow i am to stupid to use the installer too. Was never able to get the downloaded and extracted rar-files to be installed by this app. I solved it by creating a folder named "DAZStuff", extract all zip-content WITH THE FOLDER STRUCTURE to this location and added it as a content-folder in the Daz-application/menurider left side/content library. (very useful when you have limited HD space and just create this Folder on an external HD. But it should be a SSD for speed-reasons )

There are some good video tutorials out there for DIM. Unfortunately, I am busy at the moment trying to move all the data from my failing external 8 TB HDD; therefore, I cannot point you to those tutorials, but there are some good ones in the DAZ store and also for free at YT.somehow i am to stupid to use the installer too.

The magic with DIM is that you should define where your installation folders are before you start downloading anything.

is there any benefit using the installer compared to accessing the content via contentlibrary?
The most obvious is that only DIM informs you about updated products, as DAZ/Tafi is too dumb to send out notifications to buyers of updated assets. Most often, not even the product page mentions an update.
