I just finished downloading SR2 for Poser 6... and like so many people, it didn't install. When I ran the installer, it asked me locate Poser 6. I then manually browsed to my "D:GraphicsPoser6" folder. But, the installer didn't like that, so it said "Poser 6 not found. Installation failed." Now, why did the installer even ask me where Poser 6 was? If this is an upgrade, shouldn't it look in the Windows Registry to find the location of Poser6.exe? SR1 worked that way and I was able to install it just fine. Or does this installer look in the Registry for ANY entry for "poser.exe" and uses the first entry... even though the entry may be Poser 4 or 5. Then, when the installer tries to patch "Poser", it fails because it's not "Poser 6". Or, does the installer assume you have Poser installed in the default folder of c:program filesCurious LabsPoser6, and if it's not there, the installer fails. Overall, I don't mind not being able to install it. Poser 6 works fine and I've gotten used to its little glitches. I'm not sure I want to "patch" something that works fine, only to have this patch possibly create additional problems. On the other hand, is this another case of something being rushed into release before it's 100% ready? Will SR2.1 be a fix for this patch? Hopefully SR2.2 won't have to fix an issue with SR2.1. --John
