Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 20 11:41 am)
To install, you will need to manually copy each file to it's proper place within your Poser folder. !------------------------------------------------------------! !!! It is important to remove all of your current plugins in RuntimePlugins and make sure that they are located completely outside of the Poser folder (not in any folder underneath Poser) -- or are deleted. If you leave any around, you may wind up with two menu choices for the same import/export choice and one of them will be likely crash the application. !------------------------------------------------------------! To install, copy each file as noted. The files in the update are stored in folders whose names tell you what to do with them. 1) Remove all of your existing plugins in the "Runtimeplugins" folder underneath Poser (as noted above) 2) Backup (or delete) your old Poser4.0.exe executeable file if you wish. 3) Copy all files from the folder called "Put in Poser Folder" to your Poser folder. 4) Open the "Put in Runtime" folder included with this update. 5) In each of the folders located in "Put in Runtime" you will find files or more "Put in..." folders. Open each of these until you find a file that isn't named "Put in..." and copy it to the appropriately suggested folder under your Poser folder. Hopefully you will find them all. For instance, underneath "Put in Runtime" is a folder called "Put in Geometries". Inside that folder is a folder called "Put in maleCasLo". Inside that folder is a file called "maleCasLo.obj". You would then copy this file (maleCasLo.obj) and put it into the runtimegeometriesmaleCasLo folder under your Poser folder. Hope that helps! Marque
Gee,is that ALL we got to do to MANUALLY use the Patch?JEEZ!What a joke.Why doesn't Curious Labs make a Patch that has an auto installer THAT WORKS!Alot of newbies don't know how to MANUALLY do it I mean I have Poser4 and It gives me an ERROR message when I try to export a Poser4 Model as an OBJ!That should NOT happen.I spent OVER $200 bucks for Poser4.Don't these guys TEST their stuff before selling it?And there are Dozens of OTHER bugs in Poser4,which is inexcusable,(and PLEASE don't give me,"All new programs have bugs",Poser has been out YEARS!) .I STILL haven't been able to get the stupid Patch with the SUPPOSED "Auto Installer"to work,it NEVER does!.Now after all this bitching,I do LOVE Poser but enough is enough!HELP!!! LOL.
It may sound simplistic but all I do/did was open two different windows & drag & drop the files from the temp extraction folder(s) to it's appropriate Poser folder. Relatively painless & it only takes about 10 minutes. On a related note... I wouldn't complain too much about the format. I'm at least grateful that Larry/Metacreations/Curious Labs are gracious enough to provide the patch for free.
You bought the program from Metacreations, not Curious Labs. The people at Curious Labs did NOT have to provide an update for you, I appreciate what they did and I'm just glad someone picked up the ball after Metacreations dropped it. If you dislike Poser so much, you should probably be able to sell it for what you paid, lots of people are looking for it. =) Marque

So the automatic upgrade program refused to work and I downloaded the manual package. Accoring to Curious labs, it was supposed to have instructions, but I find none. I am using Windows98. If anyone has these instructions or can tell me how to upgrade, I would greatly appreciate it!
