Thank you for the feedback. However, I think I may not have been clear in my original post. I am running Poser on a Mac, so I'm not sure if the Windows solutions apply...? In addition, I cannot, for the life of me, open these folders (like one is called PoserPremiumContent_3DScenery_01.zip. If I double-click on that, it opens toPoserPremiumContent_3DScenery_01.zip.cpgz. If I then double-click on that, it opens PoserPremiumContent_3DScenery_01 2.zip, and it would just go 'round in circles, opening and re-creating the same 2 files. I never get to see what's actually living inside the folder! I'm truly baffled...

Used to have that problem until I invested in real archiving tools like StuffIt and Expander for the Mac. Seems the onboard version included in OS has problems with some .zip files. Another try is to put the zip files in a separate folder on the Desktop and unzip them there so the unzipped folders open in a contained folder. See if that works. I got into the habit of doing that so I could find the un-archived content folder and thus install manually as recommended above. I use a way different method of setting up my Runtime folders the un-archiver does not understand. So I gave up on i a long time go. 2 window manual install is the best for me anyway.
