Well, I wrote a basic Windows.BAT file as a starter. USE: Put it in the folder with your newly downloaded Poser 11 .PY scripts, then run it in Admin mode. It finds whatever the Windows OS is using as "Program Files", whatever drive that may be on. Then it finds there Poser 11 (whether installed to "Smith Micro" or "Poser Software") and finally it copies all the .PY files to the correct scripts folder, so they can be found when Poser is started.
@echo off
:: First we nicely size the .BAT file's console window.
Mode con cols=90 lines=25
:: Then we print a message for the user, in the console window.
echo Searching for your Program Files folders for Poser 11. Please wait for a few moments ....
:: Now we find the user's Windows OS Program Files folder, whatever drive they are using for the programs.
:: This assumes they do not have Poser 11 installed on an obscure network drive or some other weird place.
for /d /r "%ProgramFiles%" %%a in (*) do if /i "%%~nxa"=="Poser 11" set "folderpath=%%a"
:: If the folder has Poser 11 in the path, then we extract the folder path. This bypasses the need to do
:: wildcard coding to detect either the old \Smith Micro\Poser 11\ or the new \Poser Software\Poser 11\ folders.
:: The found folder path is passed to the new variable 'folderpath' - but this is only part of the path.
:: Therefore we also set up a new 'scriptsmenupath' hard variable, containing the rest of the required path.
set scriptsmenupath=\Runtime\Python\poserScripts\ScriptsMenu
:: Then we combine the two variables into one working Windows folder path.
set combopath=%folderpath%%scriptsmenupath%
:: Print the combined working folder path to the console window, to reassure the user.
echo %combopath%
:: When run as Admin, a .BAT file stupidly defaults its working directory to C:\windows\system32\ DURH!
:: Thus here we change the working directory back to the same folder in which the .BAT file resides.
cd /d "%~dp0"
:: Now we can do a copy operation, sending all the folder's .PY Python files to the Poser 11 ScriptsMenu folder.
:: Of course, a successful copy requires that the .BAT file is being run in Administrator mode in Windows.
xcopy "*.py" "%combopath%"
:: Prevent the .BAT file's console window from instantly closing.
