Thanks for the information, everyone!

I also got a sitemail from Paradox1998 - like RHaseltine, he suggested just creating a daz folder in c:program files(x86)common files then creating a fake dzinstall.ini in the daz folder. Worked like a charm!

I'm trying to structure all the external runtimes in a somewhat logical manner... I like Bagginsbill's suggestion a lot. It's going to take a couple weeks to install all the content I've amassed in the last year as it is. Having all that backed up so I can just copy it over on a future new system, or on a re-install would save a lot of time! Most of my content on my laptop is already in external runtimes - just the base Daz stuff is installed in the Poser runtime.

I've created an external folder called 'DAZ People' for all the base Daz stuff - V4 installed into it beautifully. The ++morphs complained about needing to go into the same folder as the Poser executable, so I'm assuming I can stick a fake Poser.exe in that folder and all will be rosy.

Thanks again, everyone!
