Start in Poser 9 with the Victoria weight mapped character directly.
I am 1 week-beginner with Poser 9. I know now the basic ways to work with a character. I want to start ditectly with V4 weight mapped loaded from RunTime DNA. Do I need only the V4WM package for the Victoria Character or do I need also the standard V4.2 package?
The first package V4WM contains 4 zipped folders as following :
** I guess that this first package can be installed in Poser 9 through the Content Window and loaded in Downloads folder (and not in Poser 9 library).**
** I loaded also the standard V4.2 package from DAZ 3D but this package contain 3 applications as following:**
Do I need this package? And how is it synchronized with Poser 9 and V4WM?
Additional question : is it recommended to load Victoria 4.2 in the default Poser Runtime to avoid the slowness of the program?

Install the package from DAZ in accordance with the DAZ instructions.
Then install the weight mapped package in accordance with the instructions included in that.

You must have V4 already installed into your runtime first, the installers are not needed at all. Now the WM zip content can be placed in any runtime of your choice, as long as all the zipped content are kept together.
For Poser, only the V4 Poser Installer is necessary; one belongs exclusively for DAZStudio (it has DS in the title) and the other is the powerloader which is also exclusive to DAZStudio. V4 does not necessarily need to be in the main Poser runtime, but if you purchase additional morph packages in the future, they must be installed into the same place.

What is the V4 Poser installer, where is it? I have to click on the ps_pe069_Victoria.exe file? and then there will be questions about installation of Victoria in Poser 9?
Thank you for your patience,
Robert

That is the exact file: ps_pe069_Victoria.exe. Go through the usual installation process.

If I remember correctly, you don't need power loader or the DS file if you're only using Poser and not Daz Studio. Am I right?

I have started the application ps_pe069_Victoria.exe. After having agreed and selected Poser (all files) application, unfortunately I had an error message from Windows as shown in attached file Error reading INI file. What it means, is my loaded Victoria file from DOZ3D corrupted? or is there something else?
My computer : hp Pavilion dv9700 notebook PC , Windows Vista SP2, 32 bits
Thanks for your help,
Robert
PS : I have just made a message to DOZ3D support service.

No need for the support because it has been a reported issue here in the forum.
Create a folder in the exact path shown in the error message, and using a text editor create a dummy dzInstall.ini. Place the dummy file in the end folder specified in the error (DAZ). Rerun the Vicky installer.

Do I make well?
I created a text file (empty, ie. the dummy file?) denominated dzInstall.ini, then I put this file in the last folder of the path indicated in the error window ie. DOZ .
My attached files 1/ before the modification
2/ after the modification,
Is it allright?

Yes. The pwerloader file is not necessary for Poser.

Yes I got well from you but I tested the application to see whether this one worked...
