Daz Studio 4.22 won't install

gniiial

I guess the image tells enough. I tried yesterday multiple times, I tried now too. Nothing happens. I don't even dare to touch the Beta version. It's sad that this even happens, because Daz got downloaded, does the installing, but does not do it and does not show up or throw out an error.

Try installing Daz Studio from the Ready to Install tab if it works to see where an error may be occuring. What does your error report say? Cog wheel upper right corner "Show Log".

That pop-up will appear, unless you disable it, if any of the packages it conatins remain uninstalled - it may not mean the application is not installing.

That is how it looks like

How much space does C: have? Assuming there is a reasonable amount, go to

C:/Users/Public/Documents/DAZ 3D/InstallManager/ManifestFiles/

and manually remove the

IM00013176-02_DAZStudio422Win64bit.dsx

file, then start Install manger and try installing the application again..

There was no such file. The only file I found was on another disk space. I moved it to another folder. But still no change. Looks like in the second screenshot. 

Edit: #1 - I did now put the "old file" into this folder. This time the log looked like this:

Edit: #2 - Now I took an old (4.12) Version, I saved back in the day external. It seems that the main Daz Studio had a lot of missing files, so it could not start or even update... Don't know for sure. I put the old version into the main directory. The program worked. I took out the manifest file and started Dim agin. Now the popup came up and it installed itself properly with desktop icon and so on. It works now. 
So I gues it's not a bad Idea to have a stable Program somewere else.
