Hi there, hoping someone can help out. I downloaded Night and Day City for Daz Studio and it is in .exe format. This is something I've never seen before. I ran virus scan and then started to open it, and it came up saying it was installing software, so I backed out. I would really like to use the asset, but I've never seen them packaged as an executable and am not sure if I should install.
Thanks bunches
Kev
It is not an exe. the link you put. It is a clean content install in DIM format. It may be that you downloaded it from another website, and it contains malware. Even I have uploaded exe's in ZoneGFX, and I am sure that they are free of viruses / malware. If you've downloaded an exe from somewhere else, delete it now, as if your life depended on it! Save your ass! LOL
Of course you are correct but once you open it it's probably too late for that. Unknown exe's should be tested on a VM. After looking it seems this content requires a plug-in. Perhaps it was packaged with it.
well according to the Daz site: This product includes:
1 Carrara Files Installer. Not all exes are bad. This product is intended for Carrara anyway. It's my understanding that it can only be run in DS with a bridge. and as I stated myy require the Sparrowhawke plugin which is also an executable.
Check that, It can't even be run in DS with a bridge ... so either install Carrara or thow the whole F*&##ing thing out
Thanks to everyone for responding to my question. I have decided to just not use or install the asset. I found some great 'city' assets on here and have gotten them instead.
