Previously I had all my apps on a separate drive, which is why I never noticed the UAC problem.

But most people (including me now) have all their apps, Poser included, installed to the standard Windows (or MacOS) location.

So I need to fix my scripts need to avoid this UAC* problem. Regardless of what I personally think.

*I assume that MacOS has a similar permissions thing to Windows UAC.


The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident. And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU or something else.
