exe file (or unzip the compressed file into the proper directory) it should show up in the program. Mag1ckkk - Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any version of Poser and the edition of DAZ Studio this article was written about was DS3. Dremer (author) from United States on June 23, 2012: Since Vista and later MicroSoft has made the Program Files folders system folders that are protected by UAC. Past versions of Windows may have allowed but it was never intended by MicroSoft. Two, never put user data in the Program Files folder. The default was the default at the time the installer was created and for the program and version number most likely to be in use. One, never assume the default location is correct. These are complex programs with lots of folders filled with content. I’ve found that it’s easier to just delete the prop rather than try to find a way to get it to work.

Usually this happens when you install content intended for older versions of DAZ Studio and Poser.

And there will be many instances where something didn’t, or couldn't, install properly.

It's a good practice to take a quick glance through the folders in the original zip file so you know what names to look for. So it may take some searching to actually locate what you just installed. Oftentimes products are listed in the content window based on their creator, not necessarily what the object was. While this has nothing to do with installing content, I feel it is important to mention that the new file you installed might not be labeled the way you expect it to be. Notice how some of the things listed don't have names that represent what you just installed? Locating Your New Content This is your content tab when using DAZ Studio. Allow it to continue until it is finished. Windows will ask you if you want to replace the runtime folder already in there, say yes (you won’t lose any of your other files). Then go back to the DAZ content folder and right click in any of the white space, then select paste.

Select the runtime folder in the zipped file, then right-click and select copy.

In either case, find it and open the zip file until you locate a “runtime” folder inside. It may have been saved to My Documents > Downloads, or maybe you saved it somewhere else.

Locate the content you want to install.

Don’t click on the runtime folder, just hang out there in the content folder for now. In the content folder you should see another folder called “runtime”. Generally it can be found by going to My Computer > Local C: > Program Files > DAZ > Studio > content. So the method I’ve developed is the following:

Plus you tend to fill up your DAZ content folder with readme files and that can get annoying. You could go through the extraction process of ZIP folders, but I don’t trust it because often times the proper folder you need, isn’t the first one visible inside the zip folder, which means there is no guarantee that your content will go into the right place.

Since you’ll probably be downloading a lot of free stuff from other sources, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with this one. Most other files you will find come in this format. It will automatically put all of its files into the DAZ runtime folder.

It's in here where you will paste the 'runtime' folder from the zip folder you downloaded. This is what the inside of your DAZ content folder looks like. Follow the prompts and your installation is finished. If you downloaded it from the DAZ website, it can be trusted. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean the file has a virus. Oh, and if you're using Windows Vista it will keep asking whether or not to allow the installation to continue, it’s usually because there are added protections for. Usually this will default to the proper folders, but just double check it every time to make sure it is going to your DAZ content folder in program files. The second thing you want to consider is the file path of the installation. They're good to get rid of things you don't like, but you'll have to weigh that against the space they take up.

However, in practice, you build up so many of these that your start menu becomes bloated and cumbersome. The purpose of this is to allow you an easy uninstall method for that one piece of content which can be accessed in your start menu. While you’re installing, be mindful of a few things: First, you might want to choose not to create an uninstall shortcut. It will then launch a special ‘installer’ program that will take you through the process step by step. Run the file (either from your browser when it finishes downloading or by double clicking on the file in your downloads folder). Installing content from an exe file isn't much more difficult than the manager.
