OMG.
My computer crashed. Trying to reinstall VWD.
I bougth VWD when it was a standalone thing, then got the Daz bridge, and then got the "upgrade" for version 2.0
None of these are installing, and the support email is not answering back.
Has anybody else had this situation, and know how to get it installed?

@the_tdog :
It's never been a standalone thing. Though, Gérald did once show an image in a thread with evidence that he was toying with the idea, because it had an OBJ import button, and I really wanted him to go in that direction, but several years have past and that did not happen.
Did you mean the native Poser plugin?
And, yes, VWD is a standalone EXE that one can open up and look around in, but without either bridging from within Poser, Daz Studio, or Carrara, it is just a useless empty shell.
So, with that out of the way, what exactly is your issue?
Exactly which version is not installing?
Exactly which version of which software is the bridge software not installing?
I am running VWD EXE version 1 (last iteration) with native Poser bridge in P9 and PP2014, version 1 (last iteration via Philemo bridge) in DS Pro 4.9 and Carrara Pro 8.5, and version 2 with DS native bridge in DS Pro 4.12 on Windows 7 PC.
What, if any, are the error pop-ups stating?
Maybe the 'host' software version you are trying to install the bridges to are unsupported.
Maybe the OS you are trying your installs with have UAC issues, or compatibility issues.
WIthout better details, it is hard to troubleshoot your issues...

I couldn't edit above post, or at least find an edit button, so I am amending my post here...
I apologize, I meant to load up my workbox for the actual VWD versions I am using before I hit submit post.
Version 1 with the Philemo bridges is : 1.1.522.3630
Version 2 with the native DS bridge is : 2.2.924.6464

Daremok: Thank you for replying. I finally figured out my issues, I should have updated here sooner. It's always been a quirky application, and the way the Daz upgrade worked was a bit funky, but I figured it out. I was just missing where it had unpacked a zip file.
Thanks again!

1.1.522.3630 is the version 1 with the Philemo bridges.
