Quote - Well there are conflicting accounts here--frankly after what I read from other posts I rather doubt it. What's wrong with the installers anyhow? I think they are easier to deal with and then if you accidently install to a wrong directory you can uninstall it and reinstall correctly. With zip files you have to hunt down all the folders and manually delete them if you don't want something somewhere.
One problem with the installers is that you do not know where or what they are installing. Many of the files installed are to do with Daz Studio and even links to the Daz web site. That may be OK for some but I have no need for such files. I accept that installers may be better for some and I am not pressing for them to be removed but a choice for zips would be an improvemnet in my book. Using something like WinRAR I can look at the content of the zip folder and copy only what I want to the correct folder and therefore I have no need for an uninstaller. I like to populate my runtimes with the files I am going to use and nothing more, not populate it with what a particular company or Vendor decides I should install, whoever they may be.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
