Subject: Exorcising the Poser 7 SP2
So far as I know you have to uninstall the program and then reinstall it minus the SR2.
Move your runtime folder out of the poser folder first! Then copy it back. I read in another thread that someone uninstalled and reinstalled without saving their runtime thinking that like poser 5 and 6 that Poser wouldn't delete the old runtime. They ended up losing all of their stuff.
So make sure you save that runtime before deleting anything :)

DON"T move the entire runtime folder! There's app specific stuff in there and you'll end up with a mixed version and a real headache. Only move the content folders. (Libraries, Textures, Reflections, Geometries and any Python script you may have.
Once you've moved it out -- leave it out. Just make it a linked runtime and from now on you won't have to worry about overwriting custom content with a re-install.

Thanks for that :)
I use external runtimes so I forgot that the main Poses runtime folder has more than just the content folders that are used in external runtimes.

You know, I think the pz3s are written with a relative pathway for the stuff from your active poser application ie just runtime:etc instead of HD"Applications:runtime the idea being that when you upgrade your poser to poser 8 you just merge your old poser 7 runtime with your poser 8 runtime and your pz3s still have the correct pathway. Love esther
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!
I can't understand why people are having so much trouble with version 7. I haven't had any issues with it at all.

We're now at the stage where people are wanting to remove the latest service releases, which were actually supposed to make things work better.
I'd like to know why some people have no problem, and for others it's a nightmere.

About a month or so ago, I got an E-mail from e-Frontier that the latest service pak for Poser 7 is ready, So I downloaded it, Installed it and from that point on,Whether it was installed incorrectly or what, the program constantly harassed me everytime I worked in poser 7; Do you guys know how I can get rid of this servicepak without dismantling everything in the Poser 7 program??, Can I re-install it over the infected program or is there an un-installewr for the service-pak alone??? I would love to have my old Poser 7 back; Any ideas???, Majikart.
