Is it okay to do this? I had almost everything installed in a runtime under Poser 7. I only installed Poser 2010 on the computer I am moving to. Should I keep the runtime separate? Or can in merge it into the runtime under Poser 2010. My runtime for Poser 2010 is under the Public Documents folder on the new machine. If I keep it as a separate runtime, will the DAZ figures work, or do they need to be installed in the "root" runtime?

I'd rather not have to re-install all my stuff again.

Thanks.

     I have seven machines, each of which has some version of Poser on it.  This is the method I use:

     Copy the P7 runtime folder to a flash drive or external HD.

     Now copy the PP2010 shared documents downloads/runtime to the flash/HD, overwriting any existing P7 files of the same name.  (This is to protect the PP2010 Python and preference files).

     Copy the flash/HD runtime to the new machine's PP2010 shared documents downloads/runtime, without overwrite.

     Put the flash/HD in storage as a backup for your content.

     It has been my experience that the Gen4 DAZ characters work, running from the shared documents downloads/runtime.

Thanks. I like this idea. I probably would have just copied the Poser 7 to the Poser 2010 and told it not to overwrite anything with the same name. But your method is safer.

If you copy the Poser 7 folder over, and add it as an external runtme, you can use the content in PP2010, and since poser 7 is self-contained, you can also run Poser 7 if needed.  Any of your Python scripts you want to use in PP2010 would need to be copied over to the PP2010 Runtime...
