Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 27 3:55 am)



Subject: ProPack Updater 3 can't find valid poser installation

I've had to reinstall Poser and ProPack which went okay, but the Propack svc release 3 can't find a valid installation even though it found the right Poser. It refuses to install/update. I ran into this a while back as I remember, but don't recall what the solution was. Halp!!!

As far as I remember you just cancel it. But I'm not 100% sure. I remember running into it too, but like you I don't remember the solution :o(

Yes you cancel...then search to the location yourself(it's the same),then installe..(strange). SWAMP

Well, no, cancel doesn't work with updater 3. :( I vaguely remember there was a trick to it, but darned if it comes to me now. I'm quite sure I even wrote a message here about it, but I can't find it. In essence I uninstalled Poser 5 (on purpose) but accidentally uninstalled Poser 4. Don't ask. Some days you should NOT touch a computer. LOL When I re-installed Poser 4 over my previously working Poser4/Propack folder, it made a backup for me. So I ended up using those files instead of the updater. My folder of backup Poser files was missing a file or two I discovered, so I didn't dare use that. Seems to be working now. But I'm sure this won't be the last time I'll have to do this.

You need to install manually. When the updater asks if you want it to find the poser installation tell it "no" and then use the browse function to find your Poser.exe file. It will work from there. Kate (who had the same problem)

Thanks, Kate. Arrrrghhh. Man, I hope I remember for the next time! LOL

Heck, Spit, the only reason I remember is cuz I've had to reinstall stuff so many times. Well, that and the post-it note I stuck on the backup cd rom case. Kate (who is lost without her post-its)
