I see your problem. It is a user access restriction, your Poser 12 Content folder is in the wrong place. That folder should be in a shared folder area. No wonder you are having problems downloading content, Windows is not permitting you to add anything to Poser. I don't know if this was intentional or a software glitch but this is the workaround for it.

It's by design, Windows is by default set this way, to protect the installed programs against any unwanted modifications.

@patlane if your system allows it, you should create a dedicated folder, for example on another drive, in which you may store all the runtimes you may have in the future, for example one by kind of character, and Poser's default one, side-by-side. In my case, they are all stored in f:poserruntimes, allowing me to share them with my poser 11. During the install routine, it's the second option when it asks you for the place in which you'd like to install the runtime, can't precisely remember the question but it's something like "shared place" if I'm not wrong.
