response to estherau:

It sounds a reasonable approach to me; the only downside I can see is that you will probably have a fair number of redundant Poser Pro program files within the merged Poser 8 Runtime folder. This should not affect Poser 8 operation, though.

I think I'll try this myself when I install this evening.

But I'm definitely going to back up my Poser Pro Runtime before doing the Ditto merge! I don't mind having to re-install Poser 8, but there's no way I want to have to re-install Poser Pro, again.
