Not having tried it I shouldn't say anything, but it sounds lousy to me. Two-step installers are a royal PITA!!! At least in the normal DAZ installer (which is an .exe and WE HAVE NO CHOICE...I'd MUCH rather have a zip) you can now cancel out of the hunt for Poser and point the installer to the installation yourself. Man, for a while there I had THREE installs of Poser while teaching. One plain Jane so I wouldn't assume something came with Poser that didn't, one full Poser 4 and one full Pro Pack. Besides I have 60 gigs of stuff for the installer to hunt through...if I were forced to let the installer find anything I'd SCREAM. Besides which I always install everything Poser to a temporary folder...never ever ever install directly to Poser itself. Now for sure I'll bypass the Beard pack and anything else that uses this 'new' method. Sigh.
