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

Jon is right about the older daz product, but this item is not that old. I have this item and it dose not have an executable installer!
Did you get it here?:
November 9, 2021 at 5:53 PM #1747261It 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

November 9, 2021 at 8:43 PM #1747299tested the link from gmgfx. No exe inside. Safe. Delete the fucking exe and install the link. (is a low poly, really bad..)
November 9, 2021 at 8:55 PM #1747302well 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 outNovember 10, 2021 at 2:37 AM #1747334yes I downloaded it from here. I will re-download it and see what I get.
thanksNovember 10, 2021 at 2:37 AM #1747335thanks
November 11, 2021 at 3:47 AM #1747694@brotherkev so just wondering, how did that work out for you
November 12, 2021 at 6:07 PM #1748272Thanks 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.
