It sounds like it isn't recognising the entity being run. How are you launching the install process? The Install Manager ready links in the product library page require a browser file association to tell it what to do with them.
Thus far I have done a manual download, and have an .exe file just like all the others in my 'Downloads' directory, exact filename "D:\DAZ Downloads\DAZStudio_4.21.0.5_Win64.exe". Using Windows Explorer I have double clicked on it (as I do to install all other .exe installation files) and.. nothing... for about 10 seconds before the message pops up. Did exactly the same with Hexagon & 64 bit C++ Builder and they installed.
It's as if something is getting between my clicking & running the file - which hints at an over-zealous AV system to me. Which is why I was wondering about that trusted content app.

The current builds are not signed, it's possible that that is the issue (I've feeling Hexagon and Carara may be signed).
OK, the 'Reputation Based Protection' setting in Win 11 was the issue. So, if you get the following warning in Win 11:
Then you will need to select the 'Windows Security' settings page and under 'Reputation-based protection set 'Check apps and files' to 'off'. Then you will be able to run the DS installation file.

Thanks for the fix.
Greetings, nice people on DAZ3D!
I just want to know if I need to install all the females-related products? Like Dolly for Genesis 8 Females, Shadow Thief Outfit for Genesis 8 Females etc.
I do NOT mean products like Genesis 3 Female Starter Essentials etc. I install all "STARTER/ESSENTIALS" products for ALL genders (Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, Genesis 8, Genesis 8.1 and Genesis 9).
I just mean clothing etc. Its because I am not interested in making female related 3D arts. I try to make Genesis 8 Males related renders MOSTLY. Or G2M, G3M, G8.1M..
But DIM asks me everytime I start it to install these important/necessary products too. .
THANK YOU!
By the way, I really love DAZ Studio. It gives me so much free products to start and to learn. Are there similar other products that give so much free stuff? No, I do not think.
You can install as much or as little as you want - you don't even have to install the Starter Essentials for figues you do not wish to use (though many of those do add non-figure content too). The only one it would be tricky, though not I think impossible, to do without is the Default Resources
Thank you, Richard! This is good news for me because I have not much space on my system drive, so I have to save as many free space as possible.
It means I also do not need to install G1, G2, G3 and G9 stuff (like Essentials), or even einvironment products that I can NOT use because my scenes are always too dark or rendering takes way too long. (except default HDR einvironment that works fine with lighting and nVidia Irqay rendering in ~10 minutes). . (To Genesis 9: I wanted tried it out (that I got with my account in DIM) if it is better thAn G8. NO, not for my taste. Figures are neither males nor females - just 'all-in-one multi-gender'.) I
I (will) install Default Resources always. I just wanted avoid porudcts that 'eats' too much system drive (HDD) Bits'n Bytes.
I use all the time G8M. With G8.1 I have to learn more before I begin to use G8.1 figures. By the way, my FIRST start with DAZ Studio Pro is years ago and I tried with G3M stuff, G8M was new at thatt time.
Can someone please point me to the directions to do a clean reboot of DAZ? I have already saved all my files and I would like to delete and reinstall and hopefully everything will start working again.
Thank you.
I don't thin anyone has a definitely-safe route, so you may need to open a support ticket.
Try using Daz Install Manager
UPD: OH, I just noticed that I replied to the ancient issue...
