Wizard scenes not found

Bought Carrara 8 Pro for Mac OSX (Beta 8,5 version). When I go to file / open preset, it displays: Wizard scenes not found. Install the Wizard scenes from the application CD to access them."

Downloaded online, of course, so no application CD to speak of. In the myriad of possible downloads I find nothing that references wizard scenes on the my downloads page. What do I need to install to make this work?

    HI laynemoore
    Welcome :)

    The 8.5 beta isn't available for sale yet, .. since it's still in development.

    The 8.1 is probably what you Bought , if you bought it here at Daz3D.

    The Beta of 8.5 is only supplied as the base program, for testing,. so the Wizards, which are included in a separate "Carrara Native Content" installer, don't come with the beta,. .

    If you've just bought Carrara, then the Carrara Native Content installer, should be include in your "My Account" / "Available downloads"
    You may also have several pages of downloads, since you'll get a bunch of Bonus files, plus the current 8.5 Beta files.

    The current beta is set to time out on November 1,.
    so, you may want to hold off until there's either a New beta version, or a new beta serial number to extend the life of the current beta.

    hope that makes sense :)

    Hi,

    http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/artzone/pub/software/carrara/beginningsetup/beginning_setupc8

    You need the "C8_NativeContent_8.0.0.4_Mac.zip". This zip included the wizards.

    I had a similar problem. My fix was to verify content was installed, and when I wanted to open it, I had to manually load the file. I ended refering to the installation web page that gives the description and paths for the folders. Some of my content ranges from C6 to C8, so I tolerate this issue.

    Thank you, that worked. But sure would be nice if those things that appeared to be links on http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/artzone/pub/software/carrara/beginningsetup/beginning_setupc8 actually were.

    Sad that it isn't install manager ready. I declare, I'm really not sure what that Install Manager is for. It showed me things I never heard of and don't need, and it didn't show me my core product Carrara 8 when I was having trouble downloading it. What good is that?? Make it dish up the really important stuff first!

    And by the way, that little blue question mark beside Install Manager Ready isn't live. ???
