Quote - You will like it. Just don't install Poser under C:Program Files (x86).....

This is not an issue and never has been with Poser 7.0.4.220 or later. Poser 6 and earlier will have issues under Vista or Windows 7, even when installed to a non Program Files location. Those that say you need to install Poser elsewhere are misinformed.

Windows 7 Business can run the older Poser under its compatiblity options.

The Poser 7.0.4.220 and later do not require you to have any content installed in the Main Program Files Folder. Since Poser 5, additional content could be installed in external Libraries if made correctly. Even DAZ3D figures can be installed into external Libraries without issues, if installed  correctly.

Main Poser Library Location (DefaultPoser.ini in the Prefs Folder) is seamless when installed to a location other than Program files. You only need to know where it is to add content. Poser 8 and later, I would not add content to the Main Library Location, instead create external locations and install there.

Since Poser 7.0.4.220 is only available as an update, you will need to create the Default Poser.ini and copy the Main Poser Runtime Folder to that location to set it up in Poser 7. Poser Pro, Poser 8, and Poser Pro 2010, this is an install option. If you use external Libraries for all additional content, you can keep the Main Library location in the Program Files. The issue is Vista and Windows 7 which do not like you to make changes, including adding content, to any Program Files Location. If you do (with UAC on) it will be in the Virtual Store. It will not impact Poser too much, but some content does not like the Virtual Store Location and it also gets confusing if you go looking for the files or if you have multiple users on the machine some users may not have access to some of the content.

If you have Poser Pro or later, do yourself a favor and install the Program to the Default location, and install the content to a Shared Folder or another location on your system. It also makes it easier to back up your Content.
