For the life of me I cannot figure out how to set up the folder structure for poser to properly load the content I've downloaded. I thought I had everything correct structure wise. When I do add the runtime folder to the library it gives me a message but adds it anyway. I have followed an old article about it but its been outdated since poser 9 I am way passed confused right now. I'm putting pictures up to show you guys what I'm talking about...

Poser does not use the content folder. That is for Daz Studio. Pull everything from that folder. Your folder should be Smith Micro>Poser 11>Runtime Please let me know if that helps. If not I can provide screenshot when I get home.

You do not normally need to add the subfolders. If you have a named folder that contains a folder named runtime you just direct poser to the runtime folder when adding a library and it will add a new library called whatever the parent folder was and add the subfolders. IE if you have Mycontent/runtime it will add a library Mycontent. The error message you are getting seems to indicate that poser cannot write to the runtime folder. Is it set to read only or in your program files folder?

Yeah I just tried that and I'm getting the same thing. If you wouldn't mind please show me step by step?

EDIT:

WAIT I think i figured it out. I'm assuming I need to put these in the public folders?

Especially under your OS environment, you need to place all content into the public folder(s). In your case that should be under Public User. Judging by your screencap, you are working with DAZ based content from files designed to work with DIM. DIM installs all the subfolders within the DAZ content folder of your zip. Your major problem is each content folder you listed has it's own runtime folder within, meaning you will create 29 separate Library entries. Not something I would recommend. Poser can automatically search your hard drive and install all your runtimes to the Library, but I think you should come up with a better categorizing system before you proceed. Otherwise, you will be spending more time searching for content and fighting a disorganized library from the start.
