Hi
I'm new to all this but I have a Mac,  Poser and Victoria V4 and I simply can't seem to get her working in there.
I ran the installer and sent everything to a temp directory.
I then manually copied everything into the runtime folders in poser.
When I try and load the character, it needs me to find null.obj
aieee!  So confused!!
So, two questions:

  1. is my basic method correct for installing content?
  2. how do I fix my problem?

thank you so much!!

 Try installing it directly into your runtime - seems you forgot something to copy.

 You probably didn't put the Geometry file in the correct place. Or i mean the installer didn't do it.

This is the way I do things, for what it's worth...

I first extract every product to its own separate Runtime, and I keep all these on an external disk in case I ever need to re-install something. Some products, like V4 add-ons, have to be extracted into the same folder as the base product, but that's okay - they belong together anyway.

But I don't copy things across manually into my Poser library. It takes too long, and it's too easy to misplace files that have to be in a specific location, such as Textures or Geometries. As mentioned above, this is probably what has happened to you.

I use a little Mac utility called DittoGui, which I think you can still download for free, although a payment of a few dollars is requested if you want to keep it. With DittoGui, you specify the Runtime of your extracted files as the Source, your Poser Runtime as the Target, then just click the Ditto button and it copies everything to the right place in your runtime.

(edit) this is also great for installing products and freebies that auto-extract into a Runtime folder after downloading. I just put the Runtime folder into a folder with the product name and move that to my external drive, then DittoGui it from there into my main runtime.

  1. installing directly to the Poser 7 runtime folder worked.  I think I misunderstood some instructions.

  2. Isaoshi - I think thats a really great idea!!  I'm gonna go find that utility.  Thanks much to all!!
