Daz Install Manager

I suddenly have need to grab some of my content due to a hd crash...

I have a few questions abour this "Install Manager" junk. First off, I am a Poser user. All I want is a zip file with the contents that I can upzip and drop that folder right onto my external runtimes. I KNOW the zip files were there for a lot of the content that I've PURCHASED and now most of them only have that stupid DIM stuff.

There are those of us that do not want extraneous software crap running in the background on our machines. Speaking for myself I have an older machine and precious few resources to be wasting cpu cycles on crap that doesn't have any business running. ALL I want is a flippin zip file of the content that I've purchased and no files with nothing but garbage inside that only that silly install manager can read.

Is there a way to do this? I'll do it with the Install Manger if I must to get zip files I can use and unzip myself but it will be promptly removed when I'm finished with it.

Daz, get a clue. Some of us just want zip files...not junk.

    The DIM installers are exactly that - a zip file. You don't need DIM to open them if you don't want. Just dl them from your product library and unzip them as usual.

    Just download the files with the installer and unzip where ever you like. I've had to delete the studio items but they load up fine in Pro2014. The only the Daz install can't do is install into daz Studio. I have over 60GB of items downloaded and so far Genesis is DOA. Worked properly with a earlier version but I wiped the drive and did a clean install. Sooner or later they will get it right

    I have been downloading the DIM zips since they first appeared. I download them manually, unzip to a temp folder and then drag and drop the runtime folder (which is inside the content folder) into my poser runtime folder of choice (merging it with the runtime already there) and then delete anything left over, which I don't need.

    Thanks, cause I downloaded an item I needed and couldn't find the other month, mistakenly got a DIM zip file and it was full of, well, gibberish. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong.

    Are you sure it was the DIM zip and not a Mac installer in a zip?
