I thought the daz installers didn't work without DS on your machine, regardless of what you were installing to.

I don't have DS on my machine, I have Poser 6, 7 and 8 and the DAZ installers put my new content in fine every single time.

The OP has gone from XP to W7, I'm guessing it's the UAC issue as most problems seem to relate to that these days for new users of W7.

Injustice will be avenged.
