after the help here before regarding another issue, i eventually revert back to poserpro2010 for rendering reasons. anyhow i am new to this new style poser has. it is a large change from 2009 and pervious. before when all else failed you could just install in aome mock folder and then move it. now there are these restrictions. (this whole thing makes me feel like a true newbie which is not the case.)

so i am asking what does this mean?

thanx in advance

The installer is looking for Poser.exe but your system only has a poserPro.exe. 2 ways to solve the problem. Open notepad and save the empty file as Poser.exe in your Poser Pro 2010 Directory and install the morphs there or you make a copy of your PoserPro.exe and rename that to Poser.exe.

That should solve your Problem.

"so i am asking what does this mean?"

It means that the DAZ installer has not been updated to work with PoserPro, nothing about Poser itself.

*The advice given above should work.

i read about that solution and i have a file in there

computer/c:/poserpro 2010/poser.exe

i made from a notepad doc. - i did put a word in the not pad, not sure if that makes a difference.

Will not make aany difference

well i tried with the new file as an exe- well for one thing i do not have poserpro install in program folder as suggested from another memeber- but i have put the poser.exe in the poserpro dir plus just to check put it in the content folder also. but i am getting the same error.

i am not sure if this matters but my V4 file reads as "victoria 4"  NOT "victoria 4.2"

I think this issue is solved with PP2012, but not yet with PP2010. (I'm not entirely sure, since I do have dummy poser.exe files that I made a long time ago.)

Anyway, IIRC: When you install DAZ content with the older installers, the best option is NOT to choose Poser as the application you're installing for. Choose DAZ Studio, and browse to the runtime location you choose when prompted.

Ignore that warning, since Poser 7 SR3 and later it hasn't been relevent.  Before that Poser could not run the script calls in the Gen4 figures cr2 files if they were not in the main runtime.  IMO it is best to install the Gen4 figures all in there own runtime folder, and never inside the Program Files folders.

It is not the problem of the location, it is the problem of the missing poser.exe. I have an installation directory where i install everything, check it and then move it to the directory where it belongs to.

There are a few Daz product installers like this that check for required pre-installed content.

What I do: make a copy of the Daz! folder that should be installed into your runtime from the V4 installation and put it in its corresponding place in the dummy runtime you want to install the morphs to.

I think that should do it. But if not, then the installer is looking for other files, and I can't remember exactly which ones. So you could just install v4 again directly into your "dummy runtime" and then install the morphs there too.

Just to cover the bases, I would suggest resetting your V4-Base download (it will give you the V4.2 Base installer), and install that, then try the Morphs install again.

It might not solve the issue, but it won't hurt, as I believe the updates from V4 to V4.2 fixed some issues with V4.

That would be my suggestion also.  There have been some unannouced updates and fixes to the installer; resetting and d/l'ing will bring you up to the latest files.

It seems that there was Install For drop-down on some of those installers - it let you pick your base render program.  If so, try selecting the DAZ Studio install option. Also, pick Custom Installation.  It lets you put things anywhere you want.  I've been doing that for years and all my content runs in both programs. (And I have never installed content into my program directory.)

thank you everyone for the suggestions. turns out it was just as a few mentioned, v4 v4.2 conflict. alll solved now.

thanx again

Hello Alls and sorry my cheap english,

I like to refresh this topic then i have the same problem. But alls what here stands does me not realy help: I buy me Poser9 with a big discount and use normaly DS3A or now DS4.5.

The handling with Poser is not so easy how in Studio, but back to my question...

All my Content is installed in DS-Native folder my library. If i load in poser a V4 figur, this is ok, but i see no dials in the morph++ folder, if i try to install morph ++ in the poser runtime, i got the same 2 messages from above. To try to reset my V4pro download in my Daz store, may not help, i think i become the same files again. Have i to install the complete V4-Figure in Poser runtime, before i can use the v4 or other daz-ppl in poser? I am to unexpiried to work with dummyfolders. Not sure which location or what be must inside in this.

Thx for answers and happy new year :-D

The Morph++ package must be installed in the same runtime folder as V4.2.  Both V4.2 and Morph++ pack can be installed in any external runtime. 

A dummy folder is just a folder to contain your uninstalled folders.  Just create a folder called temp runtime.  For V4.2 and the Morph Pack to install correctly to the dummy folder, create a dummy Poser.exe with a text editor program and place it within the temp runtime folder.

thx hborre,

 your way with the dummy folder works, i was able to put the V4 and V4 morph++ files in poser runtime folder, but the problem exists again, i can not see in poser properties the dials for morphs++. only some expressions and vismens.

sorry for late answer, i was not aware from an reply, the answer notification vial mail here in forum does maybe not propper work

If I understand you correctly, you are not seeing morph dials in V4/M4.  Did you load the morphs from the Pose section in the Poser Library?  If you did, it sounds to me that V4/M4 did not initialize and update.  On a PC, there should be an update icon located on the desktop which will create the necessary channels to load morph packs.  This action must be performed whenever you install a new morph pack.  There is another method to accomplish the same action from within each of V4/M4's base folders, however I am presently away from Poser computer to give proper guidance.

Hello Alls and hborre,

Happy new Year!

I will not forget to answer, i think i solved my problem or better a general mistake in my thinking over poser. Is it right that i have to load all morph++ dials seperately from the runtime-pose- library? if i do so then i can see the dials in parameter-settings from v4, but is a verry horrible doing to inject all dials seperately, thats are over 200+ body-and head-dials.

Thx for Help and have fun in create new art

Nabou

No.  There are pose files that will load all the morph on one click.  The separate folders containing the individual morphs are just that, injecting individual morphs.  This is a more selective method as opposed to injecting all the morphs at once.  So, for example, if you are only interested in loading specific leg morphs, then you can select those morphs pertaining exclusively to the legs.

hmm hborre,

 then exists my problem again,  i can not find that special pose file that load all dials in one click, i have installed correct and activatet correct, but now i miss in parameters the vismes and expression dials what i have before, now are gone,

i must say again, handling in poser is not the best, especialy for beginners :/   Daz-Studio is more intuitive, but thats not the problem, i have to learn better poserhandling :)

maybe u come closer to a poserprogramm, hborre, so u can eventualy better resolve my wrong doing? 

i hope my english is well enough to understand what i try to say

thx for try to help me

PS: maybe this thread is a help for other beginenrs too with the same problem
