New 4.6 crashes immediately
I just installed the 4.6 version, replacing 4.5. When I start it, I get the splash page, and a status bar on the bottom of it says a few things, then, "Building interface...", then it all disappears.
I have watched the program manager and see the process come and go very quickly.
When I first installed it, I saw a Norton Protection popup from my system tray saying something about it blocking an unsafe program. During the install of Daz 4.6, I recalled seeing how it now uses a port for the content manager service. I'm suspecting that Norton is blocking its use, but I cannot find any program / special handling in the firewall interface mentioning Daz.
I've rebooted several times and have uninstalled, reinstalled Daz 4.6. Same same.
Ideas?

Upon further exploration of Norton, I came across the log of the incident...

I'm looking for a way to allow Daz to do this...
I have gone into the firewall settings and added both the DAZ3DIM.exe ND daz4STUDIO.EXE, Still no go.
Hmm... I run DS4.6 and yes it uses a port address to talk with the CMS. My Nortion never complained once. I'm sure it's the same as the port from DS4.5 which you could run I believe. No Idea what happened for your Firewall to suddenly decide it's not allowed.
