FarawayPictures: because Daz neglected to make a David/Hiro/Michael/Luke/Matt 4? ;D

cspear: This is a mess.  1. When I went to My Account and Available Downloads, ALL OF MY PURCHASES (EVER) were (reset) there.  It took forever to distinguish the actual files to be downloaded.  2. Installing V4.2 means overwriting V4.0/4.1 which is not in my interest.  I need each figure to be available for customer support (yes, even V4.0.1.a.yesterday's udpate).  The recommended solution - install on another system/drive.  Yikes!  I can't do THIS on my Mac system (as it only has one drive!).  This is bordering on pathetic.

Sorry.  The entire situation is complex (depending upon Poser this or that, D|S this or that, existing V4.x installs, V4.x third-party installs, OS, system, configuration, main or external Runtime, ...).  Daz needs to stop forcing conformity to unreaslistic parameters.   Look, I'm not whining.  My business depends upon having a wide variety of configurations available for resolution.  The 'you must update V4.1 completely to V4.2' methodology doesn't provide much of a workaround for this without going atomistic and complicated.  At this time, that just adds more complication to the complication of my complicated complication complicating my complicated situation.  Sorry if you can't understand that... ;)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
