I have used Poser 4 through 7, and started using it again with Poser Pro 2012. I recently reorganized my runtime and decided to take a look at some older projects I started and didn't finish. I seem to be missing geometries for some G2 clothing items, including G2Casual-CasualPants.obj. I have to assume it was included with one of the versions of Poser I bought, perhaps on a content disk.
Does anyone recall where the G2 casual clothing installed from? I thought I had tracked it down to the Poser7 bonus content disk, but that was the "high stakes" collection which only contains the G2 formal clothing. Perhaps it is on the application disk? I'd just like to know what disk it was on, and what that disk is labled as/looks like.
If it is on the application disk, is there any way to extract those files without re-installing an older version of the program?

I have them in my Poser 7 runtime, but only there. It's an OBZ, though, not an OBJ. I assume they came with the main app, since I installed allmost everything in different runtimes since Poser 6.

Hmmm... So maybe it's on my P7 application install disk then. Is there a way to extract it without running the installer?
I am pretty sure it's asking for an .obj. Maybe I used it to make a new figure and had compressed files turned off? Would that create a new geomtry somewhere? Maybe I can locate the .obz and point Poser to that when it asks for the .obj...

On my system, the path is:
Poser 7RuntimeLibrariesPropsPoser 7P7 Male ClothesPoser 7 CasualG2Casual-CasualPants.obz
You can easily uncompress the OBZ, Poser has a python script for that.

It was fine with loading the .obz when it asked for the .obj.
I was referring to extracting the file from the installation disk. I ended up just installing Poser 7 again on another partition, as I couldn't think of any other way to see what I was missing or how to access the files.
Oh, and thank you!

The obz files unzip just fine with Winrar.
