This is how I migrate content library to another machine easily

Yeah, easy do easy fail. Sorry. But please give me an advice if you see what I did it wrong.

1) Move InstallManager/Downloads to drive Z:

2) Install DIM

3) Set the download path to drive Z: path

4) Install all the contents in the Ready to Install tab (which shows and install everything correctly)

5) Open DAZ. Manage content library to ensure megadata is okay.

6) Try to enjoy my easy job but fail. Just see broken icons and can't load.

What did I miss? Please kindly tell if you know. Thank you in advance from the one who don't want to download everything again.

    Are you sure your files in

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager

    are OK? Check them out to see if they are.

    You can make corrrections, 'check all' in the Deinstall & Install panes in the DIM And start the queue and let it run a few hours after the corrections are made.

    Did you point DS to the library?

    Everything is absolutely correct!

    Download path - checked. Install path - checked (both are separated external drives)

     

    Thank you nonesuch00 and agent unawares.

    Download path and install path are DIM paths, not DS paths. Where is DS looking?
