On the link I got in my order. it leads to an installer which when downloaded gives you a clickable link of the numerous items to download. When you click install on the first one  it lets you choose where to install it.  Then when all the rest are downloaded, the button changes from download to install as well. Then it installs with where do you want it as well.  . My problem is where does it rest between download and install and does it disappear afterwards or is it hiding somewhere.

Maybe the store personnel can tell me how to download and not install?

Or maybe there is a way to download zip files instead so I have at least some assurance my money may not be wasted if problems unsue.

I just like having the files in case of computer problems or incase of programme problems where you might have to start over and re-install Poser itself because of inner glitches.
