Quote - Personally I never install directly into my runtime folders.  I have a folder on my C Drive called "Unzipped" that I install or unzip content into.  After I've looked through the folders and organized and renamed folders as needed, only then to I drag and drop into the runtime folder.

I keep a dummy poser.exe file in that folder. It's simply a text file with the extension changed to .exe.

When installing Daz content, I stop it from searching, and point the path to the unzipped folder on my C Drive.

This is what I do, and it's absolutely the best way to install any content, Daz or otherwise, because it gives you a chance to organize things and to catch any errors in folder organization that a creator might have made.

I can't remember how many times I've unzipped a zip with a file structure that looked like runtime/poser7/runtime that if I'd just unzipped it directly into my runtime would have immediately become invisible to my library.
