And how do I get Poser to see it. I have Poser 12. I click install.....things install. Then it asked to reinstall, I rebooted Poser, I rebooted the computer and then Poser. I must have done something wrong when I installed Poser.....It says it makes a Poser 12 folder. But it didn't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!!!!!

It winds up in a folder called "Included" in Program Files under Poser SoftwarePoser 12, the same place you'll find Runtime. It won't let you (well, it won't let me) add it to the library manually. I just copied everythng over to Runtime ,

Jimmy1 Thank you so much for being willing to help. I followed you down the rabbit hole and ended up with the folder called runtime. However Poser is still not seeing the content. It continually asks me to either install or reinstall. The "included" file is empty. I'm confused. Did you make a new file called runtime? I tried adding the content to the libraries folder.....didn't see it then either. They are within a folder called Poser 12 content. Again I thank you !!!!!!

Yep, sorry, that was my aging brain remembering Poser before Windows 10. Here's what mine looks like:

And here's what's in the Included folder:

I highlighted all those and copied, then went back up to "Poser 12 Content" and pasted.

If there's nothing in yours I'm not sure what's happening. Do you get any kind of error message when trying to install the free stuff?

Ok I'm giving this a whirl. I would never in a million years have guessed that the stuff was in the public documents folder. Your help is greatly appreciated and I'm quite impressed that you know where all this stuff is! Thank you!!! I'll be back if it doesn't work. But I think I'm significantly closer!

The Public Documents folder is convenient if you will have multiple users on the same computer using Poser, it ensures everyone will be able to access those files. It feels a little random for a single-user computer though.

Poser will ask you, every single time you install or update, where that folder should go. I'm thinking of moving my runtimes there just so I can stop fixing that setting.

Thank you for your response ChromeStar!
