"I agree that DAZ is guilty of assuming that computer users have at least basic knowledge of how their system operates."

I have 20 years of experience of software engineering and successful made and sold my own company. Sometimes we had to learn a new programming language over the week-end. Since that I learned Cinema 4D, Bodypaint, ZBrush, in depth Photoshop, Poser, Vue and a bunch of other programs in a little over a year without problem.  But the Daz installation and the relationship between the different files is the most difficult task I ever encountered.

When I finally understand this I will write a documentation that in less than one page describe exactly how it works and what references what. Just to show how simple it is to spare people so much grief.
