I have Photoshop CS6 and was trying to install some brushes into it with DIM. I am getting these errors.
Also Two items are not installing and there are no errors with it. One is called feather ties and the other is for Cookie.

The error messages look like it is trying to install files for program versions you don't have paths defined for. Maybe the brush products are not compatible with your Photoshop version? Or maybe they are compatible with multiple versions and did install for your version and failed on the additional versions?
I reported one package the other week to CS, once they repackaged it to allow for CS5, DIM installed it. The brushes worked when I did a manually install, just the packaging is wrong for DIM to handle it. I have another one I bought yesterday I haven't the heart to tackle just now - Rons Waterworks
What tags do the DIM installers have? If they don't specify CS6 then you could add your CS6 installation location as a CS5 (or whatever tag they have) location too and that might work. DIM is only actually checking that you have a file caled photoshop.exe in that location, it doesn't really care (at least for brushes) which version the program is - I know this because I use DIM to install brushes for use in Photoshop Elements, and all I had to do to persuade DIM was add a 0Byte file called photoshop.exe in my install location.
ETA: Maybe report the product to CS too, so they can fix it properly.
I tried renaming the folder inside the zip other week - didn't work. I suspected the manifest needed changed as well - so have just tried it and it installed my stuck brush set. Needs both the manifest edited and the folder renamed to install. So you can edit it so it will install with DIM
