Why can't I install content using the Downloader in IC8/CC4?



In IC8/CC4, the Smart Gallery is integrated into the Content Manager and called Smart Content Manager. Basically, the user can't install content via the Downloader (installcontent.rlcontent), nor the legacy .exe installer. This can only be done through the Smart Content Manager. See this manual on how to download the content:
