Quote - > Quote - One solution I've seen mentioned is to pick "DAZ Studio" as the installation type, which allows you to pick where to install without a check for a Poser installation.

i thought some of the files for DAZ were different to those for poser..?

Just relaying what I've seen several times in DAZ's forums.

On the "fake" Poser.exe issue, I found when I installed in for P7, I had to copy both Poser.exe and Poser.rsr before the installer would play nice (faking up both files should confirm that both are needed).
