Which won't work with posers 5 6 7, since they require a default runtime INSIDE Program Files with their install. ....

Actually they dont, I have 5,6 and 7 installed  in an external drive and they work fine(actually they even work fine from that external drive from both XP and Win7 64bit running dual boot. never had to reinstall them for the new OS). what they require is the primary runtime be within the poser folder along with the software.
