Yeah, I know what you mean. I was reluctant too...lol Actually Poser 5 will not upgrade you Pser 4 but rather intall a new instace of Poser(version 5). I installed it in the following order: 1)Install Poser 5 2) Reboot(do NOT launch the program) 3) intall the figure updater(available at Curious Labs website) 4) Reboot(still DO NOT launch the application) 5)Install the SR2 patch(available at curious Labs website) 6)Reboot 7) Launch Poser 5 and enter serial number. Don't worry about it over writing Poser 4 stuff.It will intall to an entirely new directory. good luck Tom
