OK, I'm still having issues. I've tried to upgrade properly to 11.3, but I'm unable to do so, because the InstallPoser.exe file keeps mentioning 11.2, and it recreates a pretty much empty 11.2 directory, while everything I need, including my Runtime, is in an 11.3 directory.
That said, I've edited the LibraryPrefs.xml file to look for 11.3, because the old reference to 11.2 wasn't allowing me to see my Runtime. I also wanted to remove the Purchases folder, but I don't have it because I don't install my content to Public Documents, which is where Poser wants to install everything by default.
I've never had a problem with this in earlier versions, so I'm sitting here banging my head on my desk trying to get everything to work properly, and have Poser NOT recreate the 11.2 directory each time I boot up Poser. The biggest surprise is seeing the installer noting PP11.2, when it's supposed to be installing PP11.3.
One other note, with the first time I tried updating, it asked me if I wanted to uninstall the older version, and I selected not to do so, but now when I try to run the Install Poser file, it doesn't give me that choice, which I believe happened with each of the 11.2 updates as well, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that. I have my Runtime, AppData and a few other things backed up on my external hard drive, so I'm wondering if I "uninstall", and then try running both InstallPoser.exe and PoserSupport.exe files again, whether I'll finally get a proper working installation, and be able to delete the Purchases folder.
Oh and I "did" download the files again (just in case) even though both the Splash Screen, and the About popup in the Help menu, both state it's 11.3.740, so not sure what else I can try.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
