Finally...I got it installed...but...what I ended up doing was to uninstall Poser, then re-install so the "old file" was the same one that the run-time patch version wants to see. Then I installed the runtime version of the patch. It worked easily and automatically....and...I didn't loose any of my victoria stuff which I thought I would have to reload. To make sure I have the patch version running, per Curious Labs, I went into "my computer" to the Poser file and did a right click on the poser.exe, then down to properties and then clicked the version tab and according to Curious, if it shows 4.02 then it has been successfully patched. It did so now I'm back in business, I hope. Thanks to all of you especially picnic/cooler!
