I have to pipe in on this one...

Unless you fully understand permissions and shared settings for Windows Vista and later (especially Windows 7 and Windows 8.x) I recommend you install the Content to the Optimal location, the Public Documents.

I have a folder called Poser Content (Poser 10 Content, Poser Pro 2014 Content, etc.. depending on version), in that is the Default Poser Content and the Downloads Folder.

I have since started adding all my Custom Libraries to the Poser Content Folder and linking that to Poser using the Add Library.

All you need in the folder for a new Library location, when created, is a Runtime Folder, then when you add it to the Library using the Add Library option in Poser's Library, Poser fills in the rest and you can use the Intall from ZIP Archive on the Content Tab, or with Windows, you can often extract directly to the Parent Folder (Poser Content for the Main Library , Downloads, or any added Library Folder

The advantage to this is all your Custom Content can be in separate Libaries, easy to archive and Move to a new system when needed.

I will admit, all my Aftermarket Content on a Network Drive along with my one Default Poser Content for all versions of Poser, but that keeps me from having to have it installed on every machine in my Lab to have access to the content, just need to link to the Library location. I have one Poser Content (actual name) that is the shared Main Library for every version of Poser since Poser 7, so no duplicates.. yeah some content is not usable by the older versions, but I only keep them around for testing purposes.

Setting up the Sharing and with the way Microsoft has tweaked Security has caused some headaches with the location, but I do have a Default Install Test System that I test content installations on to the Downloads Library and a few others and that set up has never ecountered an issue.
