Products Installed on DIM and pending on Connect

Hi,

This will be probably considered a duplicate question, but I have failed to understand the concept even reading similar questions. 

Recently I had a missing files problem, that was successfully solved on the thread https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/207851/object-mapping-failed-solved#latest ;

I was intending to let in that way and only correct a product that I would aim to use. But I discovered that I also had some duplicate products, so I decided to be radical.

1. Uninstalled all products on DIM, except Daz Studio and PostgreSQL.

2. Inside Daz Studio I selected Content Library Pane->Content DB Maintenance->Reset Database.

3. Unistalled Daz and Postgre SQL on DIM.

4. On folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms I erased all files (saw that on another thread).

5. Reinstalled all products on DIM.

6. Back on Daz Studio, all products were missing. I infer that I should add them to the database (all directories consistent between DIM and Daz).

7. I selected Content Library Pane->Content DB Maintenance->Process Metadata Queue and Re-import Metadata...

After that I would say that about 75% of all my products were completely fine. They are show on Smart Content Pane, they are listed as installed an so. I attached an example "DAZ_Normal_Product".

But the rest of them are still listed as pending to install. Some products don't have the option to install on right click but they have the icon to install, like the attached "DAZ_Pending_Product_NoInstall". Despite this state the product can be used, for example, by loading a figure genesis 8, the body morphs are available on Shaping panel.

Others, have the option to be installed, atacched file "DAZ_Pending_Product_Install". This product is not available on Smart Content Panel. 

Why similar products came to so different states?

How can I have all my products uniformly installed?

If I click on Install for all, will  I have duplicate products again?

Thanks

Trying to narrow things down, can you try this:

1 - if you have DS set to log in automatically, turn that off

2 - uninstall everything like you did before (your steps 1-4) and close DIM

3 - Launch DIM and install DS and PostgreSQL, but no content

4 - Close DIM and check in Task Manager that neither DIM nor PostgreSQL are running

5 - Launch DIM and check in Task Manager that PostgreSQL is running

6 - Install content with DIM

7 - Launch DS but don't log in, and see if things look correct

I'm sorry for the delay, I was waiting for the day I'd have enough time to do the whole procedure.

I made the steps 1 to 7, the strange thing was that Bryce didn't show up on DIM this time. I notice because I had problem with 10 products related to it. It didn't show up on products to download, to install or installed. The filters were the same. I opened and closed DIM 3 times. So I downloaded from marketplace and installed manually. Then installed the 10 products from DIM.

On Daz Studio I waited the sign below saying "Migrating x of 2109 items" to finish. After that the result is that there is no products pending to install. 

I checked the products from the last example, they look like this attached image "Gothika Cabinet": warning icon, red point at below/left. The product "Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs" are not been listed on Content Pane->Products folder, but I loaded a figure and the morphs are there on shaping pane.

Moving forward, I selected Content Library Pane->Content DB Maintenance->Process Metadata Queue and Re-import Metadata. Now, the missing items appeared, but the warning icons persisted. Nothing to install yet.

I closed Daz, opened again, now logged in. Now appeared 14 items pending to install, I can list them: 

1 Genesis 2 Female Body Morphs
2 Genesis 2 Female Head Morphs
3 Genesis 2 Male Body Morphs
4 Genesis 2 Male Head Morphs
5 Daemonessa SSS
6 A4 and H4 for Genesis
7 Genesis Evolution: Body Morphs 
8 Genesis Evolution: Head Morphs
9 Daz Studio 4.9 Beta (we can ignore this one)
10 Manly Men M5
11 FW Honey HD for Victoria 7
12 Brutes Bruisers Thugs and Tough Guys for Freak 5
13 Daz Dragon 3 Morphs 
14 Expressions for Teen Josie

Re-import Metadata has no effect. 

Thank you
