    didn't see a bat file in my account - are you talking about the power loader ?

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ (or where you have V4 installed)

    and run the file called DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat to initialise V4, then it should work.

    Looks like this is a bit of a glitch with the new DIM system. The .bat file is still in the same place it's always been, what we don't get with the DIM is the shortcut placed on the desktop by the installer, and that calls up the .bat file. And considering how many ways there are to define a desktop folder location (in OSX, Win8, Win7, Vista and XP for those who still use them) it's not something that can be included in a DIM .zip file. I don't think there's any way around this, unless it's possible to patch something into DIM to detect and run one of those .bat files whenever it's installed.

    They all still work but they don't put the shortcut on the desktop to them. If you install with DIM, DIM executes the batch files.

    DIM will run the batch files if CMS is running right, since this can be a big IF for many people it is best just know where they are and run them manually.

    AFAIK DIM will run them even if CMS isn't running.
