"Useful Shapes and Symbols for DAZ Studio" stopped working

Drogo Nazhur

I purchased "Useful Shapes and Symbols for DAZ Studio" [ https://www.daz3d.com/useful-shapes-and-symbols-for-daz-studio ]. It worked initially but now when I click on an image, instead of inserting the image, it displays a grey cube. I tied uninstall and reinstall the package multiple times with DIM and manually and the same thing keeps happening. Help!

If you look in the log (Help > Troubleshooting > View Log), does there then come any errors or warnings when trying to load?

Here is what the error log says when I try to insert the object ...

The error message in the log indicates that you have installed that product with Connect (from inside Daz Studio, probably by mistake) and it didn't install properly. 

You need to uninstall that version so that the version installed with DIM is used.

Thank you. So do I just go into those folders and remove everything?

Leana

Try uninstalling it from inside DS, I'm not sure it will consider it uninstalled if you just remove the files.
