Subject: Respawning default Runtime

Upgrade went smoothly. The only problem is Poser spawns a default runtime called Poser 11 Content in C: Users Documents, etc. It's empty, because I set Poser's default runtime to an external drive.

So I can't add the "real" runtime, with actual content, I assume because the name is the same. I get "runtime is already added."

I assume I could fix this by renaming the "real" runtime and adding it...but it's kind of annoying have an empty runtime stuck at the top of my library. I can't remove it. If I delete the empty runtime, Poser re-spawns it.

Is there anyway to get rid of it for good?

Same thing here...hoping there is an easy fix.

Is this the runtime with native Poser content? I was looking for it but couldn't find user/App/roaming/data for some reason. It's the only runtime I allowed on C: Drive. Compared to my other runtimes which runs in the terabytes, it's pretty miniscule.

Do you dare re-install?

Actually Rob, the OP is talking about User/YourName/Documents, or on my computer it's My Documents. I had the same thing with PP11 when I first got it, but it didn't do it this time, mostly because I'm set up to use the External Library, which I view through my browser. I think what I did when it did happen, was to rename it slightly so Poser didn't recognize it, though I don't recall what I called it.

I tried renaming it, but Poser re-spawned it. So now I have two empty runtimes in users / documents. :-P

Wow. There it is....I was looking for it earlier. I even asked where it should go...sigh

Well, I was able to fix it by re-installing without keeping my old preferences. It could be that the empty default runtime was there from a previous installation, and I just never noticed it was empty because I didn't use the content that came with Poser...until now. :-)

IMO, you should be able to remove the default runtime, and it definitely shouldn't respawn itself if you delete it.

Well, I just checked again, and I do still have the folder in question, and what I did was renamed it to all one word (without spaces), and added a number to it. IOW, I renamed it Poser11Content-2. It hasn't been updated since November 2015, when I first installed PP11.
