Quote - After a computer total-meltdown I'm reloading a bunch of old resources back into Poser7.  I've moved to a 64-bit system -- don't know if this is relevant. On a lot of the files, after trying to (and apparently successfully) run them, Windows7 informs me that the application may not have installed correctly.  Allowing the computer to re-try with "recommended settings" doesn't generally seem to help (but might have once?)...  Tried loading to the default Poser7 library and my own seperate folder, also with mixed results.

Is this a known issue?  And if so, does anyone have a little direction towards troubleshooting?

Thanks.

I get this message as well and I think the reason why the message comes up is because the program isn't installing many of the common things that a program would and because it's not finding those common elements then it notifies you with that message.  You could probably make an .exe that "installs" family photos and you would get the same message.  I usually just ignore the message because I know that the poser content is installed in the correct location.
I don't turn it off because if I'll need to know things like that when I actually install a program.

Don't click on the retry. Just go to your Poser 7 and see if the content made it to the correct location.
