Stepanie Morphs Not Working

I've recently re-installed Stephanie 4 morphs.
I'm using Poser Pro 2014.

When I load V4.2 into Poser all the loaded morphs seem to work on the figure except for the Stephanie morphs.

For example if I load the proportion morph for Hour Glass figure, I see the morph dial but adjusting it doesn't appear to have any effect on the figure.

Kind of stumped any hints?

    How did you reinstall them? Do you have more than one Runtime?

    I have several runtimes. (Lots of old POSER versions) After I extracted the files I copied the runtime into the main Poser runtime, the same location of the V4.2 base figures and the other V4 and Aiko morphs.

    What OS? If Windows Vista or above, is the main runtime in Program Files or Documents?

    And did you run DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat after moving the files?

    Windows 7. Runtime was placed in "classic" location (program files not my documents.) I tried to install the main runtime in a location other than program files but that created other issues.

    Never heard of the DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat program, so I didn't use it.

    I did find one way around it. the Daz studio "runtime" shows up in the POSER menu, it seems to load ok that way, but I'd still like to understand what's with the POSER runtime issue for future reference.

    Several things:
    1) DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat is what initializes the morphs. It is run automatically if you have an .exe installer or use DIM; if you extract the files manually you need to run the .bat before the morphs will work.

    2) Win7 protects the Program Files hierarchy, so files that appear to be located there are not necessarily there. Do not count on 4th generation morphs working correctly there.

    3) Do you have the same files installed to the DS content folder? You don't need to install twice, both Poser and DS can use external runtimes.

    4) Make sure you do not have V4 and her morphs installed to more than one runtime, if Poser is using more than one.

    Thanks I will try all of that. Downloading and unzipping DAZ and copying content to a runtime used to be a lot easier. Even the DAZ .exe file installer seemed to work OK. The new method with the DAZ install manager seems a little more confusing. I guess a lot has changed since POSER 4. :)
