I am not sure this is the correct forum to post this in, but I am hoping it is.

I recently downloaded the free M4Base at Daz, but when I try to install it, this is the message I am getting:

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

The problem is that the directory I am trying to install it in IS the directory with my excecutable file in it. Could someone please advise me as to what, if anything, I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

Probably nothing.
If your trying to install to PoserPro the executable is named differently from plain Poser, and (even if this isn't the problem) the solution is to choose "DAZ Studio" as the installation type.
This will let you install to any Runtime without the (pointlessly annoying) check for Poser.exe

Thank you so much!! That worked perfectly :-)

what I do is create a text document, then rename it poser.exe

it fools the installer into accepting my folder of choice - which is typically an external runtime
