I've been having problems installing Victoria 4.2 into Poser Pro. When i try to install PS_Pe069_Victoria4 into the PoserPro directory, which contains the Executable file, i get a PopUp saying it needs to be put into the directory with the Executable file.

Is there any different way to do it in Poser Pro? I've installed it into Daz3D but much prefer Poser. I'm really inept with installing things like this.

Thanks in advance for your help

 The installer is looking for a file named "poser.exe"

But Poser Pro's executable is named "poser pro.exe"

just create a dummy text file and rename it poser.exe and the installer will proceed.

What I did was just saved any old text file into my Poser Pro folder then renamed the file "Poser.exe" You'll get a "Do you really want to do this?" warning about the changed file extension but just click the "OK"

This should placate the DAZ installer.

 Thank you for the quick response! :)

It's installing now, hopefully that sorts out a few other problems I was having with other ones :)

Probably similar to trying to install Girlfriend 6.0 over Wife 1.0
Even if you uninstall Wife 1.0 first your cache still gets deleted.

If I tried to install girlfreind 4 over wife 2, they'd both whack me seriously!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Another way to do it is just install for use in DAZ Studio when prompted. It won't affect Poser Pro.

 I'm still very new to poser. Now I've got Victoria working, I'm wanting to apply some of the stuff I've downloaded. A lot of the clothing I have appears in the poses section of the library. Could someone explain how to apply these to the figure please? When I double click on the pose, not a lot happens, so I'm guessing it's a little more complicated than that

Thanks again

Actually, what you see in the poses library is what gets applied to the clothing figure. Thus - if you don't load a clothing figure first, nothing happens.

Just as you load Victoria 4.2 base figure, and then get morphs and textures to apply in the poses library, so too with clothing: The actual clothing figure is usually loaded from the figures library. Then you choose your corresponding clothing textures from the poses library.

 That makes sense, but I can't seem to find a lot of mine in the figures library, so I must be doing something wrong on installation I guess

Check the content first.  There are many texture packs that are just that, texture packs.  You will need the actually clothing item, which Believable3D has mentioned, usually found in the figures library.

I had a similar problem installing Victoria 4.2 into Poser Pro, created a fake Poser.exe file & it seemed to installed successfully. But there is no sign of Victoria when I look for her from within Poser Pro. I can see the files in the RuntimeLibraries folder (in a folder called "!DAZ"), but I've searched every single Figure folder from within Poser Pro & it's not there. Anyone have any ideas about what may be happening & how to fix it?

Ok, never mind, I figured out how to fix this. When I installed Poser Pro, I set up a separate Download content library (as recommended). So I uninstalled the Victoria 4.2 I had installed in the Poser Pro application folder & re-installed it in my Download content folder (after first putting a fake Poser.exe file in it to satisfy the DAZ installer). Poser Pro was then able to find it & all seems to be working fine now.
