Well, not to bump this back up again, but tonight I find yet another example of perfectly unnecessary complexity.

Fool that I am, I go to DAZ tonight to buy some of the older stuff before they pull it from their inventory. One of the items I got was the Hiro 3 Ultrabodysuit.

So I try to run the installer. It asks me to locate my Poser 7.

I do so.

It then says "The required file cannot be found." and stops the installation. It doesnt, of course, tell me what the bloody hell it's looking for.

So I go to the product page. Nothing there, of course.

Product wiki? Useless.

So here I have a product that's asking for something because DAZ's FREAKING INANE INSTALLERS CANT BE BOTHERED TO JUST UNPACK THE DAMN THING. NOPE, WE HAVE TO MAKE AN ENTIRE WAGNERIAN OPERA OUT OF THE PROCESS.

Sheesh.

Oh yeah. Installers. Wave of the freaking future, all because some users cant be bothered to learn what's going on under the hood and because DAZ is so freaking scared someone might... I dont know... actually want to use their stupid products.

Oh yeah. This is really sharp business process.
