Quote - Funnny thing is *I still use my Python Scripts from (mainly) the PP2012 runtime, located on my K: along with any other Poser install right back to Poser 4 L This is the first I've ever installed somewhere other than K: hmm.

I did try to put a copy of PoserPro.exe some other places. Renamed to Poser.exe. Because I did remember that issue with earlier installers.

And interesting about the Poser Pro 214 Content folder. I have a Poser Pro 2010 Content and a Poser Pro 2012 Content folder. But as far as I can see, no PoserPro2014 content folder. And Ryan, along with all the other native Poser guys are accessible through the default Poser Pro 2014 library. The two previous Poser Pro versions did create both a (mostly empty) regular Runtime along with the ...content folder. But apparently not this one.

I suppose I could install one of the previous versions of Poser Pro (they're "installed" insofar that I recently had to reinstall Windows, so although all the files are still there, there's no entry for it i the reg dat. Which MAY be why the installer can't find it.. I dunno.

What annoys me is that even when I point the installer to a folder with a poser.exe... nothing happens, other than the installer telling me there's no Poser there.

I've tried it both with Poser running and with Poser closed down. No difference.

The zip file containing the TylerInstall.exe unpacks fine, so it's not a corrupted download at least :)

And yes I did a classic install. The one "not recommended", but that's how I've installed previous versions as well (or.. perhaps not since I DO have the Content folders from the two previous versions...)

GAH! I just wanted to look at this new iteration of Ryan, since I actually liked Anastasia. sigh 

I still wish SM could just zip up the thing as normal. With a Runtime Path. Atl east make it an option to download an "old fashioned" version of it.

I wonder how the Mac version is packed.. perhaps I should get that and have a look? 

I have the mac version, and if you insist on installing it in the main Poser runtime instead of the content runtime, it won't work there either.

If you insist on not following the instructions, don't be surprised that it doesn't work.  The old ways of doing business in Poser are no longer workable, due to changes in how MS & Apple are dumbing down their operating systems.  SM has made changes to Poser to reflect those changes.  i.e. so you aren't dealing with the UAC in windows, or similar crap that was added to OSX.

The default content goes in the content library - Python scripts go in the main Poser runtime.

Once again - Install to your Poser 2014 Content library.  He will show up in libraries/People/Tyler

If you want to see what he looks like (and collect some free poses for Tyler and other SM figures)
