Bought both sets, but "Sailing the Seven Seas" won't install through DIM. Tried to delete pacage, re-download and install, but install stops at 64% each time. " Conquistadors" installed through DIM as a breeze.
This is an issue that you need to report to Daz. They handle all installation issues.
till today I got no answer from DAZ but I saw You found a solution with that other guy in this forum. I have the same problem, in the folder Props/RiverSoft Art/NowCrowd-Billboards is only the folder Conquistadors and another I purchased before. Only in the folder runtime/textures/Riversoft Art/ Now-Crowd Billboards I can see Sailing the Seven Seas. Unfortunately I not really understand the solution that I got "Sailing the Seven Seas" in the folder Props too and the script from the package 01 can finish the installation. I am not a native speaker, may be my english is not good enough.

"Sailing the Seven Seas" has 14 zips. The first one has all the folders that you see in Daz Studio, "Props/RiverSoft Art/NowCrowd-Billboards/Sailing the Seven Seas" and the Scripts. The rest are all the textures. Since the one bad file is in the first zip, that's the one that fails. If you unzip that zip file manually to a temporary location, your unzipping program should ask you if you want to skip the bad file. Skip it and let the rest of the files get unzipped.
Now go to the temporary location. There will be a folder called "Content". Go inside that folder and there will be 4 folders: Scripts, Data, Props, and Runtime. Take those 4 folders and merge them into your content folder, e.g. "My Daz 3D Library". That should solve the problem. You'll only be missing the one bad file.
I did in that way You told me but unfortunelaty it doesnt work. I controlled all folders and file from the content folder they are in the right folder in my libary. Maybe the problem is that in the download folder I found beside the zip Folder a dsx.file with the same name too. Now I must give up, I stay in Thailand and it is allready 4:20 in the morning.

I wish they would update that zip file. The dsx file is not the problem. You need to make sure that you see something like this:

I got good news, Amy from DAZ contact me in the meanwhile. They will check the problem. Maybe the path is also a problem, I buy so many things that most of my DAZ products are on external drives. I did in Your way and You can check in the attachment, that I do it well, also with the other folders and files in the unzipped contant folder.
We will find a solution and by the way I like Your products and I know it is a lot of work!

Is Daz_3_Terra_Runtime also where your People, Environments, and Poses directories are?
Hi, sorry for my late answer, I got sick this week :(
Thank You very much for Your efforts to help me but this level is too high for me.
Never change a running system, the way I do, cause I have not really experience to modify scripts in a database. In the meanwhile I have more than 4000 Products, this is the first time, that I got problem like this. I sent the infos You gave me before to Amy, she answer allready to give that infos to the technical support.
I think thats the best way for You too, because they should also fix the problem with the broken .png file.
At the moment I got feedback from DAZ support I will send it to You too immediately.

I have the same problem, it seems that package nr. 14 is not complete.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. Daz repackages the submission for downloads. You need to submit a ticket.

Yes, I installed also Your other products Now-Crowd Billboards - Conquistadors, Now-Crowd Billboards - Zombie Apocalypse, Now-Crowd Billboards - Disaster! and Now-Crowd Utilities on the same drive and folder with DIM without any problems, many other people, environments, poses etc. too.
Don`t care to much, we will find a solution, relax, its weekend ;)
Many thanks!

Hmmm. More than likely, this Daz_3_Terra_Runtime is not in your path for Daz Studio Formats.
The code does this:
function IncludeFile( sRelativePath )
{
// Get the content manager
var oContentMgr = App.getContentMgr();
// If we don't have a content manager
if( !oContentMgr ){
// We're done...
return;
}
// Declareworking variables
var sPreferredBasePath, sAbsolutePath;
// Get the path of this script
var sScriptPath = getScriptFileName();
// Define the directory type to look in
var nDirType = DzContentMgr.AllDirs;
// Also look in cloud directories
nDirType = DzContentMgr.AllDirsAndCloud;
//Define the preferred [mapped] base path; use the path of the current script
sPreferredBasePath = oContentMgr.getMappedPath( nDirType, sScriptPath, false );
// Get the absolute path of the file to be shown/opened
sAbsolutePath = oContentMgr.getAbsolutePath( nDirType, sRelativePath, sPreferredBasePath );
// If the file was found
if( !sAbsolutePath.isEmpty() ){
print('Found:', sAbsolutePath);
return sAbsolutePath;
// If the file was not found
} else {
// Inform the user
MessageBox.information(
qsTr("'%1' could not be found in a mapped content directory. " +
"Check the installation and try again.").arg( sRelativePath ),
qsTr("File Not Found"), qsTr("&Ok") );
}
}
var dirBaseNC = "Props/RiverSoft Art/Now-Crowd Billboards/";
IncludeFile(dirBaseNC);
If I copy and paste that into the Script IDE, I get:
..\..\..\..\..\src\sdksource\general\dzcontentmgr.cpp(4083): Empty path passed to DzContentMgr::getMappedPath()
