Quick Upgrader utility tips for VWD Upgrade version purchasers:

The upgrader utility instructions should be be clear, but here are some quick tips/notes:

1. The original version of VWD 1.x does not need to be installed completely or correctly for the upgrader utility to work. All you need is to have the proper V1.1.522.3630 VWDClothAndHair.exe file from the installation zipfile package available anywhere on your system (e.g. your Desktop or a temp folder) for the upgrader utility to browse-to and 'see' and verify that it exists.

2. This exe file only has to exist for the upgrade utility to find once. After the new full-installation zipfile is extracted/generated by the utility, the old VWD version can be (backed up and) removed. (It can be kept available for Poser users, and DAZ 4.10 users (only) who have philemot's bridge product for V1.x. These users should probably rename the VWD 1.x folder to avoid issues)

3. The original and proper VWDClothAndHair.exe file (V1.1.522.3630) is found deep within the original installation zipfile's Poser Runtime directory structure at:

    ...RuntimePythonposerScriptsVWDVWDClothAndHair.exe
   

4. After the upgrader utility has complete, you must then do a normal installation of that complete package. The Upgrader is simply a verification-based generator of the complete installation package.

Again, full instructions are included in the installation packages, so please take a look before getting worried that something is amiss!

If anything about this can be clarified, or if you have any experiences to add, please post below, and/or let us know!
