Hi Peterpan

Try re-running that V4 installer (may run the uninstaller first if you opted to install that and can find where it installed to).

Anyway, when you re-run the installer, you should get an option "target application" - set to "Poser (All Files)", then, on the subsequent screen, you get a "Destination Directory" option.

You can use the browse button to change this to your "Poser Pro 2012 Content" folder (within which is your main Poser runtime).

That main runtime enclosing folder is in the following path on the mac:

"/Users/Shared/Poser Pro 2012 Content"

You could probably just copy and paste the above over the default "/Applications/Poser 4" option.

Alternately, create a new "Victoria4" folder in the "/Users/Shared/Poser Pro 2012 Content" folder or within the "/Users/Shared/" folder. Add the "Victoria4" folder as a new runtime, from the Poser Library window...

...there's a button (top right I think it is) in the Poser Library window / panel to add further runtimes (by selecting the folder enclosing the runtime folder structure).

Obviously the additional runtimes can be any location you choose, more or less.

Although, ideally they should either be under the "/Users/Shared" or under your own folder (e.g. Peterpan or whatever your computer username is, under the "/Users" folder)... to avoid any permissions issues that could arise.

Also, it could be on an external USB or firewire, etc, drive.

Any help so far?

:)
