Quote - > Quote - FWIW, Sean, starting with Runtime in the .zip file is actually the standard, whether it be for freebies or for store products.  As a matter of fact, the RMP won't accept a .zip file for a Poser product that doesn't install properly to the runtime.

And I agree. What I'm saying is, start with a folder with the product name, then inside it put your "runtime" folder and its contents, accompanied by the readme, the EULA, and whatever else..

BTW: I'd hate to have to open the mailbox at admin. I have a feeling it's gonna be quite mfull and very hot in there. :)

I think the issue with using Runtime: Libraries: etc...  as a required path is that is the standard by which Poser's Install from Zip Archive uses (both MAC and Win) and it also allows both MAC and WIN users to dump the prepared product into any existing Runtime (MAC users using Stuffit with the Merge Option active, Win users can use most an Compression Utility to extract with Full Paths.

If a Product has a Parent Folder (My Product: Runtime:.... ) or had an Identifying Folder in the top level of the Runtime Folder (Runtime: My Product:... ) it would not work correctly.

Now, with that said, I also understand the Numbering requirement (What if two people uploaded a product with the same name) and I have a suggestion... Allow the Product to keep the Name, just prefix it with the Number. That way everyone will know it was a Rendo Free Item offer and the File name will stay intact somewhat.
