checked.  Not in the unemptied trash.  not renamed.  not hidden.

Yes, I've searched for it.

i used "find" starting from the root.  It's nowhere.  And my filesystem reads 35GB more space after the installation (I checked, to make sure there was sufficient space for both content directories).  That means the OS has freed the disk space.  35GB was the size of my old content :(

I just unzipped the install.log

postinstall goes through my entire content directory, file by file.

Sep 23 07:41:46 Oz installd[39969]: *** process 39969 exceeded 500 log message per second limit - remaining messages this second discarded ***

 

Finally gets to:

My fear is that they copied everything from /Poser Content to /Poser Pro 2012 Content, RM'd that directory, and THEN copied the new files from temp directory into the same directory structure, including the directorties.  Unix doesn't merge directories, it replaces them.  That's why you can't drop content that's just a "runtime" dir structure onto the existing runtime on MAC.  You have to use something like RSRConv that merges the files into existing directory.

Hard to tell, I don't have the listing for the postinstall script.  If I had it, I could see what it's doing in short order.
