I am not super clear on the absolute versus relative path concept that is mentioned. The reason I ended up doing things manually in the first place is that the installers usually gave me more troubles than I cared to have to correct. It certainly would have been less work but I wouldn't have learned much either. I did drill all the way down to the runtime folder and got the red dot on added runtime to boot, but still did not see the new content. I tried other stopping places, got the red dot too, but still no access. Maybe I should have rebooted and seen if that some how helped. But I didn't. Should I have? Also the Poser application and runtime is not on the boot drive, as that sucker is too full for all the stuff that adds up. I dedicated the secondary 400 Gig drive to 3D apps and so far have not regretted the decision. I am puzzled about adding my Daz runtime and don't want to have to re install everything.
