I am going to clarify the first paragraph, everything V4 will go into the external runtime on your "F" drive, do not duplicate any files and divide them between two runtimes. That will only confuse Poser when it conducts searches for associated files and textures. Do not create anything because those files are already present in your zipped. Just install the zipped runtime into it's final destination, or better yet, create a new folder called V4 or Victoria 4 and dump the runtime and other folders at the same level into it. Link the new folder to the Poser Library and you are ready to go. I suggest getting this working first before we proceed to the Genesis/Genesis 2 figures. There is a different procedure for those figures.

And, BTW, only work with the Poser related files first; ATM DAZStudio can wait.

Thanks for the clarification. The Series 4 runtimes are installed, linked, and appear to be working. I have tested some of the series 4 characters - Victoria, The Girl, & Stephanie, and all have loaded without problems from the main files that I installed into my separate runtime - !DAZ Files For Poser.
So I guess I am ready for the next step being the Genesis & Gen 2 files. I have installed them into their own placeholder folder for now and within that folder are the folders for both the main files and their companion files. Within those folders are their runtimes. I did this so I would not get them mixed up but do not know where to install them in Poser. Do both sets of these files get put into Poser and if so where? Should those CF files be put into their own runtime? Note: all of my DAZ files were installed using the DAZ Install Manager, however I have not had DIM either download or install any of the DAZ CF Files. Those files I have just hidden in the download list and their are over 600 CF files in all... However I have no intention of using all of these files in Poser only those that I absolutely need to achieve my renders and allow me to use for my Poser content from Renderosity & RTDNA made for these DAZ Figures. BTW how do I know if these 2 vendors content made for V4 will work with other series 4 characters or not? Is it just rial and error?

Thanks.
