That's great if you are a DAZ studio user. I just installed some 50 or 60 of my archived DAZ purchases (from WAY TOO MANY MORE still not touched!) and it seems DAZ does the same darn thing with their installers. It sure made re-locating the Poser 7 Runtime folder each time for each product installed a royal pain it the heinie not to mention a lot longer process than i though I like. Not to mention that even though I pointed the path out for the installer to
>Poser7/Runtime folder
The darn installer installed added a new runtime folder within the residing RUNTIME folder I pointed it to already in place making it a freaking nightmare to transfer all the stuff from one embedded Runtime folder back up the Heirarchy to the main Runtime folder.
When you have one or a few items to install/transfer it is annoying but workable. But when you gat a lot of stuff to install/transfer like I did, not setting up the installers to work more effectively becomes a nightmare.
It took so long I still haven't finished transfering them all. :(
