Install option on an already installed product?

Taking a look at the image I attached, I am trying to figure out why some of the items have a symbol (on the right top corner) and the option to install. All of my items have already been installed using the Daz Install Manager.

Is there a further install required after using DIM?

Thank you in advance!

No. That install option is for installing it through Daz Connect, i.e. downloading it through DS itself. Having something installed through multiple methods can cause conflict, and DIM works better than Connect anyway, including some items that can't be properly installed through Connect.

It won't cause conflicts, usually, but if you install through Connect then any other isntallation is just a waste of space and potentially confusing.

Connect isntalls geenrally work, but sadly a lot of script-based products are not written in a way that is compatible (and it would be hard for the authors to debug them before release if they wanted to change that).

Thank you for the advice! Cleaning up my installs and database is confusing enough without adding extra copies!
