Quote - you can also use 'DAZ Studio' as the target application, then the installer does not look for the 'poser.exe' file. then you can install it where you like ( morph packs etc do have to go into the same folders as the core figures)
i know this works on P7 up, not sure about earlier versions.
there is nothing except the original content and lights/scripts etc installed to the P7/P8 runtimes, on my comp.everything else is installed into runtimes on another hard-drive, including all the M4 and V4 figure and morph packs.

hope this helps

This is indeed the simplest way to install DAZ content. I have P4, P4Propack, and P6 on different machines on the network. P7 is in WindowsOld from when this machine was upgraded to WIN7 from XP. All my runtimes are available to me in P8 including those with various versions of Mike and Vicky just by locating the external runtimes and linking them into the P8 library. New content from DAZ including V4.2 and M4 and the weekly freebies are put into a runtime called DAZ which has no Poser.exe. I just use the DAZ Studio option and install the content in my C:/DAZ directory refreshing the library to have it show up in P8. BTW there is an initialization program for the V4 M4 figures that must be run after they have been installed on your machine.
