The installer for Service Release 3 does not recognize my installed version of the Pro Pack, and refuses to run. There is no mention of this trouble at the Curious Labs website. Rather than distract them from IMPORTANT things (P5!!!), I thought I would ask some questions here. Has anyone had trouble with the installer? Is it another situation in which I need a clean installation of the software in order to apply the patch? Or did I miss an intermediary service release which I need? Any ideas? Also, another question, completely unrelated: does anyone know how to easily rotate all of the lights in a scene so they retain their relationships to one another? I tried just rotating each one along the desired axis, but it didn't seem to work right. Is this a math thing? Do I need to dig out the trigonometry book to calculate my new light positions? Eep.... All I remember from Trig is the "Law of Limits".... Thanks for any help anyone can offer....

I had the same problem and this is how CL told me to fix it. When the installer asks if you want it to search for the Poser installation, click "No" or "Cancel" (I forget which). Then manually point it to where you have Pro Pack installed and it will work just fine from there. For some reason, the automatic installation doesn't work on some machines/configurations. Kate

How did you rotate the lights? Just adding a value to one paramter in the parm dials? I guess you became a victim of the gimal lock. Write a Python script that uses Quaternions for the rotations. Stefan

Couldn't you just parent all the lights to an invisible cube or sphere and just turn that to rotate the lights?

Thank you for mentioning this about the service release...I thought I was the only one with this problem :) Rawn

Parent the lights! I'll try that! Huh! I ended up rotating my whole fershluggin scene 90 degrees, keeping the lights the same. Boy, do I feel silly! :) Stefan, I think you are a bit smater than I.... I know about the Grimal Lock, although the term is new to me. You got me, though, on the quaternions. Que? I tried to learn to program Python when the Pro Pack first came out.... It was like Homer simpson, trying to beef up on marketing. I jumped, feet first, into the complex stuff. Gave up on Python, started reading about basic programming logic. Gave up on basic programming logic, and dug up the old Geometry textbook. Put that away and decided it was more productive to watch the telly. Please write a program to rotate all the lights, smart people! "I could never whack a ball with such velo-cit-y... But I can hit it!" I'll try what you suggest, Kate. Thanks! I do have Poser 4 and the Pro Pack both loaded on my system. Perhaps that is the problem? Hmm. The Pro Pack Memory Update (whatever it actually was) had no problems....
