You can have different bit versions installed at the same time, e.g. x32 and x64 as long as they are the same version i.e. 4.0.3.47 or 4.5.0.114.
The way I would do it is this:
Uninstall DS4. Make sure you uninstall all the plug-ins, etc. Once everything is uninstalled, make sure you have no DAZStudio4 directories in either or both:
C:Program FilesDAZ 3D
C:Program Files (x86)DAZ 3D
Also stop the Content Manager Service and uninstall.
Reboot and open Regedit. Do a search for Keys only, using this as the search string:
Studio4
Do a search in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
It should find the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareDAZStudio4
Right-click on Studio4 in the left pane, and select Delete.
Reboot once again, and re-install. You will need to re-import your directories, etc, in DS4 as all the settings are now gone.
ONLY DO REGISTRY PART IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
If all that is too much work, then a simple DS4, CMS and content uninstall will do before reinstalling 4.5 and the content (with rebooting between the uninstall and install). Skip the registry and folder deletion part, that way your categories, etc will be intact. My method is prob an overkill, but it works for me.
