Sounds like the Win 7 UAC split runtime problem.

Sorry, I'm very tired this morning, otherwise I'd explain it all again.

Could somebody else link to the threads, or ask the same questions again, and/or explain once more how to use the P8 library to see where things really are.

In a nutshell:

If you have Vista or Win 7 and UAC enabled, programs are not allowed to poke stuff into anything in Program Files. Your real runtime may not be under the Poser 8 folder, although there is a folder there called Runtime Or it really is there, but is read-only to installers.

To fully diagnose, we need to know what OS, what Poser installation option you selected for where your runtime is, what that location actually is (revealed using the library GUI), and where you think the Daz installer placed the files. Once you know where they should be and where they are, all will be clear.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
