Well, I've searched through the postings and either missed it or it's not here. I just bought Poser 9 (started with 4 then went with DAZ Studio, but got fed up).
The manual for Poser 9 says to create a "Contents" folder and use that as a destination for any "executable" files. It works with figures, but when I tried to install V4 Morphs++ I got an error that said it has to be installed to Poser's root directory. When I tried that, I got an error saying necessary files could not be found and the installer quit.
So making a short story long, how do you install DAZ (et al) products in Poser 9?
Thanks,
NB

You should be able to run the installer, and pick the appropriate "Runtime" folder. What OS are you running on?

The warning about installing to the Poser app folder dates back to P6. Select DAZ Studio as the target app (it installs the same files but doesn't require "poser.exe" to be in the destination folder).

Thanks, all.
I originally tried to point Poser to the DAZ content folder and it didn't work. I tried again and voila!
Now I don't have to reinstall everything!
