Saved old content for new computer, DIM wants to redownload EVERYTHING

Is there anyway to tell DIM "I've already got this content installed?"

I basically moved my DIM content directories (and non-DIM ones too) but DIM is wanting to reinstall all of it. Heck, it wants to download and reinstall Daz 4.6 even though I've already got it installed!

    Did you move all of the files from here as well : C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager

    DIM uses the Manifest files to keep track of what it has already installed. In every manifest file, it has the path to the installed content, so that it can uninstall it again



    My path is shown above and is the default location for My DAZ 3D library, I am not sure what moving the whole lot to another computer would do to it all?

    Your post helped! That information was there but it was on my new drive, DIM looks for it on C so I copied that folder over and it showed all my installed stuff. I only had to go through and tell it I didn't want all the Ps and Legacy stuff and I was good to go!

    Super, thanks for letting me know.

    I wasn't exactly sure of how it all worked.
