Quote - There used to be a really good installer here, but it went away because the author got tired of having to modify it every time Daz farted and made a new variant of their installer exe. Now that everyone is zip compliant, it ought to not be that big of a deal. Perhaps someone with more programming ability than I will take up the gauntlet.
Actually now that DAZ has gone primarily to zips, the old 3D Conent installer worked fine save for the issue of the DAZ zip having the runtime folder as a subfolder of the content folder. You end up having to move the runtime folder up one level and delete the content folder.
The only thing I dislike about it is that it is tied to the system. I much prefer being able to install an app, input the serial and go. Especially when the vendor decides to go AWOL.
I had an old public beta copy of it that worked fine on zips; it would search the archive for a runtime folder and extract the files to the correct location. I never bought the commercial version because it was tied to one computer. Perhaps he could be persuaded to sell it again now that the headaches of dealing with DAZ installers is gone...
