OK so you now have all of your zips, and exe files sorted by character and in master folders in a safe location.
Now the fun part installing all of it ... well I use the word fun loosely.
At any rate go to your main drive where you are going to have all of your content reside at.
Create Master folder I call mine Poser Runtime.
Now create folders within the master for every single category you have sorted your content by.
Now you can begin to install all of your products for that character into the separate runtimes created.
"Reprinted"
Example on your hard drive create a folder and call it "Poser Runtimes"
Create a new folder within it and call it "Aiko4"
Now go to your storage folders and find an outfit or any other product for Aiko4 and install it to that newly created folder.
I will not go into detail on the steps of installing unless asked, but the highlights are simple.
When you go to install it it asks for a destination, direct it to your newly created empty folder called Aiko 4 and let it run.
When you go back to it to look at the file structure you will see that when it installed it that it created all of the other needed folders to contain all of the files.
So nothing else to do there except continue to install content.
At some point you are going to run into dialog screens saying that there is already a read me folder or file by the same name. Do not overwrite them. You will have to manually go into your Aiko 4 folder and then rename the file or folder, (I usually give it the name of the product).
While you are in there you might notice several folders all called read me in various spelling formats. What I do at this point is create a Master Read Me folder and I move all of the stray read mes into this folder that way I have all the license and usage documentation for all products in one spot. Another trick that I do is I create one called DAZ Read mes, since they have thumbnails and a html plus a text file for all products. I will move all of them into that one folder to keep them organized.
At some point you are going to get some content that when you install it instead of unzipping to the proper directories it creates a new folder called runtime within your folder. Now what? Well now you have to go into the root structure of the folder find that new runtime folder and click on all the "+" signs until you can see all of the final folders for the product, now move them (drag and drop) to the correct location in the main folder (geometry, character, pose, prop, textures and so forth) and then once you have all the pieces moved then you can leave the read me in that folder, after deleting all of the empty folders and rename the folder it as the product and then move it to your Master read me folder.
This should pretty much keep one busy for a while, mine as mentioned installed into each of the separate runtimes. Has that master folder weighing in at 75GB. So it takes a bit to install.
Now in the attached screen shots you will see examples of what my set up is like this is only a guideline and it works for me so adjust as needed or ask questions as to why and I will try to explain it more clearly.
Luffie ... Kianna will come over and give you personal instructions. :thud:
