Howdy all, I have a question regarding the install manager. I had been using it a few weeks ago but after a drive failure I was forced to re-install on another hard drive and restore from backup. The install manager wants to re install all over again all my products. Is there a way to tell it I have them already? Any help would be great.

    The way Install Manager knows what it installed is by saving a manifest with each install. The manifests are saved in:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\ManifestFiles
    If you can salvage that folder then Install Manager will know what it installed and where.

    Also,
    As an organizational issue, you should organize the list of products with most recent first. This way you will have a chance of remembering what the last product that you bought was because you can correspond the DIM list with your last order. Hope that this helps.
