DIM Applications Settings SOLVED

Okay, non-technical ineptitude strikes again. Need some assistance advice, and thanks in advance. The cause of my dilemma was getting the correct GoZ version to match the correct Studio version. (Yep, did my research before I started.) So I needed to install the latest version of Studio but also the latest version of DIM (which from other posts, was messed up) so I redid DIM. The lowdown on what I need to fix-

In Studio- the Content Directory Manager is D/DAZ/Content
In DIM- for Installation, that matches the above.

Now the problem is in Applications. I have two different paths for DAZ Studio 4.5+ (64 bit)

Let's look at both of these- this first one, when I go to look, under DAZ3D it's the Content Management Service. That's it.
C:/Program Files/DAZ3D/DAZStudio4

Then the second path for DAZ Studio 4.5+ (64 bit) is D:/DAZ/DS4.6
This is showing Content and its subfolders.

So do I need/want both of those?

Next, for ZBrush, this does match a screenshot I saw in another thread, so I think this is right for the GoZ.
C://Program Files (x86)Pixologic/ZBrush4R6 It that's not right, please let me know.

Before I install the latest version of the studio (something didn't take the first time, still had old version. So I uninstalled and am doing again. Want to make sure DIM is correct first.) can you tell me about these settings? Not sure if they disrupted the installation or not. SO not technical.

    If the path on the D: drive is ONLY content, then it should not be listed on the Applications tab in DIM. Are you saying that the path in Program Files doesn't have the DAZ Studio application?

    I don't own ZBrush but that path looks plausible.

    Correct that the D drive is only Content. So I should remove that from Applications.
    Path in Program Files is only DAZ3D> Content Management Service only.

    I'm reinstalling the latest version of Studio to see what happens.

    Can you search for the file dazstudio.exe and see what the path is?

    I'm not understanding this. I was able to open up DAZ Studio and it is the most current release (the .52) It's operating super fast btw. All content there. However, I haven't installed GoZ so I'll go test that. What is all that other crash stuff?

    Okay, I exited the folders and came back in again- and sure enough, it was showing an old view. So now I see where the studio is-
    C/Program Files/DAZ3D/DAZ Studio 4.

    I am closing Studio to do the GoZ install and then will see if it takes.

    Yes! It's there. So that is the correct path for GoZ. Now I'll go see if this works. Look out world, here I come. Genesis is my first victim.
    Thanks so much Mike :)
