Hi,

First, let me say I'm very new to Poser and 3D.

I've noticed a lot of 3rd party content requires a model called Victoria v4.2.   At the moment, I own Poser 8, and Victoria I don't think comes with it.   I later found out that Victoria originates from DAZ Studio.   I went to the DAZ website and noticed that they're providing it free of charge, but the installer files which I downloaded crashed with an error - I think they were looking for DAZ Studio but obviously couldn't find it.

So what is the procedure, if any, for installing Victoria on a Poser 8 installation?  (I have a Windows 7 PC)

It is for sale at DAZ3D - Victoria 4.2, currently the base is free

As are a lot of other Daz figures. IIRC, they won't be free forever...

what does the installer ask ?  I dont remember v4.2 instal. Usually it asks where to install, which is the poser program library for P7 and below. Some installers want to see the file poser.exe to verify the right folder , and you can just create an empty text file and rename it.

When I try to install the Victoria base, the installer asks me to choose the target application (either DAZ studio or Poser - I chose Poser).  It then crashes with the error:

"Error reading INI file c:Program Files (x86)Common FilesDAZdzInstall.ini"

Perhaps I should try installing DAZ Studio and try again?

I think you are running into the Win7 UAC barrier. There are a number of threads on here on how to avoid issues with Windows 7. If you are trying to install to the main Windows Program Files folder (where Poser 8 would live), you will get that error. Windows and Daz products generally don't play together: for some odd reason, Windows thinks Daz products are a virus. :woot:

One method is to create a new folder within "My Documents". You can name it anything you like, suggest "My V4 Stuff". Within it create a new text file. Rename that file "Poser.exe"

Now run the installer, installing to My DocumentsMy V4 Stuff. The installer will be happy because it will see the (dummy) poser.exe file.

Then in Poser add My V4 Stuff to your library as per the Poser manual chapter 7.

Hope that helps.

This is a very stupid Daz installer problem, when you install one of their products the installer looks for "dzinstall.ini".

Create the directory "c:Program Files (x86)Common FilesDAZdzInstall.ini"

(folder named "Daz", textfile named "dzInstall", then change the file extension on the text file to "ini")

run the installer again.
