Quote - nodding Yes, I've done that before to force the installer to install to Poser Pro. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant when installing V4 or M4 and the installer wants to install where the Poser.exe is, however it won't recognize the exe of Poser Pro. I have to install updates like the most recent one into Poser 7. Am I to take it that the people that create the installers over at DAZ don't have a copy of either Poser Pro or Poser 8?
