Hi all,
I am running PoserPro on a xp 64.
I just D/L'ed Michael 4 base from DAZ with the view of installing him into PoserPro, Firstly is he compatable?
I select 'Poser (all files)' from as the target application and then I get an error about reading the dzinstall.ini, Does this mean i must have DS installed on this pc for this to install properly into PoserPro?
Are there any installation issues I should be aware of?

how does M4 compare with the G2 males ?
thanks for help,
mike

Select DAZ Studio during install of M4 and then browse to your PoserPro runtime folder.
For some unknown reason the DAZ installer does not recognize PoserPro. It only recognizes Poser 7 and earlier.
The Poserpro runtime is likely in your User folder depending how you installed PoserPro

cheers wimvdb,
any thoughts on how the G2 models compare to M4?

You can also just create a text document in your PoserPro folder and rename it to Poser.exe...
then your installer will think all is fine. 😄

ok, it now proceeds to the 'Destination Directory' but I now get a warning that

"When used with Poser TM, "Michael 4 Base" must be installed to the same directory as the application executable; due to restrictions on support file locations"
Please select the dir that contains your Poser Executable"

I have Poser finstalled in 2nd partition (F) in F/program files/ Poser Pro

so I choose that as the path and it just keeps popping up the same message.

any ideas
Mike

You probably need to create a Poser.exe inside the runtime you want to install to. Only versions prior to Poser 7 (latest SR) should have problems with M4 outside the main runtime, so Poser Pro isn't affected.
