I'm running tests here. Mind you, I have both Poser and all my runtimes (including the default one) installed in a hard drive other than my Windows one, and it's advised not to use the Shared Documents folder for Runtime anyway, since forever, because possible bugs.
Process:
-Added EzSkin3 to Poser 11 folder (because I currently had no custom scripts installed so I added this for test).
-Added one of my La Femme products into Poser 11 Content folder (aka default runtime).
-Uninstalled (via Window's "Uninstall or Change a Program" window) Poser Early Adopter version which is what I was using.
-Installed SM's latest Poser Pro 11 version, remembering to chose "Use Existing Preference Files" when I'm prompted about that. Same installation folder - I:/Poser 11 for me - and default runtime folder - I:/Poser 11 Content for me.
-Ran the installer for current Poser 11.2 early adopter version. It didn't ask me if I wanted to uninstall the previous version, like it does when we install new versions of the early adopter program, for some reason, but it didn't prompt me for a Poser folder, which leads me to believe it's found the old installation correctly. Prompts me for a content folder however, which I'm pointing to the same folder I was using before (I:/Poser 11 Content in my case). Again, it asks if I want to backup existing preferences, I tell it to USE my existing preferences.
-Poser 11.2 loads with my preferences intact, my custom layout is there, my render presets are there. EzSkin is there. My product is correctly inside the default Content folder.
