Hello, I’m trying to install Victoria 4.2 Morphs++ into poser 2014. The same error message pops up when I was installing M4. When used with Poser TM, "Michael 4 base" must be installed to the same directory as the application executable;due to restrictions on support file locations.Please select the directory that contains your Poser executable. I solved the M4 problem by pasting a dummy poser.exe in my runtime folder. Does anyone know where would I paste another one to install Victoria 4.2 Morphs++? Thanks

Get rid of those ancient .exe installers, which were designed for Poser 7 and below, and go to the Product Library in your DAZ account to get the current versions, which are zip files. Unzip them all to a temporary directory, and either drag the contents of the Content folder to the runtime you want to install them to, or rename the Content folder and add it to the Poser Library as an external runtime.
You then need to initialize the figure; browse to the "folder you installed your stuff"/runtime/libraries/!DAZ and Click on both:
DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat
DzCreateExPFiles-V4V3.bat
Also do this with the .bat files for M4 and his bits, too

Thanks. After reading through several forums, I found I was able to use Daz3D as a source directory.

I have made an runtime folder named it From Daz... then I down load from daz... I manual download the poser parts and load them in to that folder... it works for me

That's the best way if you have Studio installed. That way you can also use Genesis 1 and 2 stuff via the DSON Importer if you install their Poser Content Files there, too...

Setting DS as the target application in the installer will also let you specify a path without getting the error (and without changing the actual files installed).

Can we install DAZ products into Poser directly using Poser's "install from archived zip file" feature in the content room or do we need to use DAZ installer?
I've been using DAZ' installer and I hate it.

No, because the Runtime folder of a DAZ zip file isn't in the root of the zip, but is in the Content folder. For individual files one can browse the downloaded zip with Winddows Explorer and drag the contents of the Content folder to whereever you want to install it.
I think the DAZ Install Manager works very well, but to each their own...
