I have upgraded to DS 4.9 and now PostgreSQL CMS refuses to install. I get a message claiming I have to define a path for it to be installed, which makes sense, but there is no "PostgreSQL CMS" in DIM's fixed list of applications I can define a path for. Below is the error message I get.
"Install Manager cannot find a required path. The package for "PostgreSQL CMS (Win 64-bit)" requires that the installed path for "PostgreSQL CMS 9.3.4 (64-bit)" be defined. Make sure that a path for this application is present on the "Applications" page of the "Settings" dialog, then try again. "
At the DIM log, it only claims "Install Failed", which is not very useful. I can still run DS but I get a CMS connection failed error message at launch and I have no way to access categories and product meta data.
Any hints on this?

I don't know if you're on Windows or Mac OS X, but on 64 bit Windows the default location defined for all DAZ 3D products is C:\Program Files\ in the folder DAZ 3D. On my system, the CMS software is installed to C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\PostgreSQL CMS . And I didn't have to specifically define that path, but try doing so in Install Manager and see if that helps.
Oh yes, I am in Windows 10 x64.
DIM = DAZ Install Manager. That's where I am saying there is no place to enter the PostgreSQL path. It asks me to, but there is no way to do that. The problem with DIM is that it gives me no options to install it. All I can do is press the "install" button, and then it tells me "installation failed" with no further explanation.
I have tried manual install, but PostgreSQL has no installer in the ZIP file.

It is. There is a place for that on DIM for that path, but not one for PostgreSQL.
I had a similar issue a while back. I uninstalled DAZ Studio and all of it's components like GoZ and made sure the PostgreSQL was also uninstalled and then rebooted the computer and then reinstalled all of it and it fixed it. Pain the butt but it did work for me.
Sometimes that's what we have to do. I had already uninstalled DS, but I didn't check to see if sub-components were uninstalled as well. That's next thing I will try.
I can't find Iray licensing details on the NVIDIA site, but it is definitely not Apache 2.0 or similar.
I'm sure DAZ 3D has a deal worked out with NVIDIA for it's usage of iRAY. Also keep in mind that NVIDIA often uses DAZ figures in their promos to sell their products so it's sort of a hand in hand thing. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Now there is some skepticism about if DAZ Studio 5.0 will be a paid for upgrade. We shall see. You know our lovely community, always trying to read the future! I mostly stay out of those conversations as they can get a little heated and over what? No proof of what's on the table!
