How does DIM handle products whose manual installers include separate Legacy and Poser installers ?

Up until recently I always used the manual installers for DAZ products. Many of the older products that I own (from back in the pre-DS4 days, before DUF) have two installers, one for Poser and an additional one for DAZ Studio - either separate Poser (Ps) and DAZ Studio (DS) installers (e.g. The Wasp ClassSpace Fighter has The Wasp Class Space Fighter Ps and The Wasp Class Space Fighter DS) or a main Poser installer plus a DAZ Studio Companion Files(StudioCF) installer (e.g.Mosquito Flyer has Mosquito Flyer and Mosquito Flyer StudioCF).

I've also noticed that some products also have a 'Legacy' installer, which I believe is for pre-DUF DAZ Studio (e.g. Neglected Shelter has Neglected ShelterPs, Neglected ShelterDS, and Neglected Shelter Legacy)

The installers for 'Neglected Shelter' all seem to be a similar size, so I assume that somebody using the manual installers would be expected to use just one of the installers - 'Ps' if they're a Poser-only user, 'DS' if they're a DS4-only user, or 'Legacy' if they're a DS3-only user.Since I use Poser, DS4, and DS3 I always install all three.

I'm wondering how DIM handles the installation of such a product ?

Probably the same  - separate, complete, packages. If not then the add-on will usually be labelled CF (for Companion File).

'The same' sounds right,and the answer was actually staring me in the face... each of the manual installers also has a corresponding DIMinstaller - it even shows that on the product pages that I linked to.
