That's my problem, I have done the install twice, in different ways but is puts the Runtime folder on my C: drive in my Users forder even though I have intructed it (I thought) to put content in the Poser Dirctory.

I want it to use the Runtime thats already in the Poser 11.2 directory.

I tried adding it as an alternate directory but is doesn't show up in the Poser library menu.

Whe I tried adding it again it said is was already added but it's not in the menu.

How do I get it to use the Runtime in my Poser Folder which is on my D: drive?

I've had problems with this before I don't want all those files on my C: drive.

Any help aprieciated.

Mike

PS. I have all the content downloaded and ready to install including all the legacy stuff it works if I put it in the Runtime on C: but I can't get it to see the one on D:Poser 11.2Runtime

I notice that the forum leave out all my backslants?

You need to add it as a new Runtime in your library i'm afraid. So just open the little plus sign up on the right in your library and browse to the runtime to add it.

It sounds like he tried that.

There was someone else complaining about a similar problem. Maybe this is an actual bug?

No it works since i've done it my self several times.

Sure, but just because it works for you doesn't necessarily mean it works for everyone. It's the nature of bugs. If they happened to everyone, every time, they'd have been caught by now.

True that. My wrong.

1. Check that you're adding the external runtime correctly by choosing the actual runtime folder, not the parent.
2. Check that you have set Poser to show ALL libraries, because it may be set to show only one
3. Check the LibraryPrefs.xml file to see what Poser thinks your library choices are. This file can be edited manually if need be (but make a backup first!)

Hi

I figured it out, the problem was that on my 4k monitor the interface was so small I couldn't see the little arrow that brings up the dropdown list to select the new Runtime it was almost invisable.

Once I enlarged my interface to 125% I could see the arrow which let's you select a different Runtime that gives you a list that shows only that Runtimes entries.

I don't know why it doesn't make the built in runtime the default and let you chose otherwise if you wish.

I still have a lot of work to do, I think I would have not chosen to install all the stuff that tries to sell you stuff if I had known what I was doing I may start over and try to get it back to basics with my own stuff back in.

I may have to make the interface even bigger.

I would have liked to not have uninstalled my old version but it wouldn't continue until I did, even in a new directory.

If you have a 4K monitor, use 200%

As for the install issues, see my response here

Hi

I can see the stuff pretty well on my 3440 by 1440 monitor at 124% without the interface getting in the way. But I do think I'll try 133%
