Does somebody who has bought Stonemason's Village Courtyard before have the old installers?
My product library is showing only two DIM zips and a lot of .exe/Mac.zips ...

Village Courtyard DS 64.22 MB download download & install }
Village Courtyard Ps 64.97 MB download download & install }
11496_5_ds_VillageCourtyard_5.exe 33.52 MB download
11496_5_ds_VillageCourtyard_5.zip 36.96 MB download
11496_6_ds_VillageCourtyard_6.exe 35.14 MB download
11496_6_ds_VillageCourtyard_6.zip 39.64 MB download
11496_7_dpc_VillageCourtyard_7.exe 33.72 MB download
11496_7_dpc_VillageCourtyard_7.zip 36.83 MB download
11496_8_dpc_VillageCourtyard_8.exe 34.17 MB download
11496_8_dpc_VillageCourtyard_8.zip 38.67 MB download

I contacted support and only got an "I believe" answer ...
"I believe there is only one zip and the others appear to be standalone installers..."

So somebody who uses DIM is only getting the first part? or what?

Very confusing!!!

Help please???

    You have a mixture of Zips and .exe files there. This is still the old format, obviously hasn't been fully converted yet.

    The zip files are for Mac and the .exe files are for PC and are the old installers.

    SO if you are using DS there are 2 .exe files and if you are using Poser there are another 2 .exe files

    If you add the size of the 2 DS .exe files together you will see it is 72.10mb ans compared to 64.22 for the DIM zip (zips are always a bit smaller than the installers)

    Aaaaaah! There's a light! Thank you!
    I was totally confuddled with too many files.
    (And I can't believe there is a Stonemason product that's "only" 64.22 MB ...)
    LOL

    Most of the difference is in the executable code for the old installers — about 5MB for Win, about 14 MB for Mac, per installer file. Add up the Win or Mac file sizes, subtract the code overhead per file, and you should get something sort-of close (within about 5-10%) to the DIM zip size. Differences between D|S and Poser zips are possibly due to texture files used in one but not the other, or maybe the scarily enormous size of some Poser (shader tree) materials files.
