I downloaded installed patch 6.4 for 3dxchange.
Oops! When I load application and click update it says I have 6.4.1327 Installed, and the latest version is 6.4.2527
So where do you get this file or the message a mistake?

Windows is telling me 3dexchange 6.4 instal has an invalid signature and could harm my pc?

There was an issue with build numbers but this has now been corrected. The latest build of 3DXchange 6 is 6.4.1327. Apologies for the confusion.

There is an issue with the signature in the updates but it won't harm your computer to install anyway.

However you can update using LiveUpdate if you prefer. If you do use LiveUpdate, please update iClone 6 first, then perform the Character Creator and if applicable the 3DXchange 6 update. You can start LiveUpdate from Start > All Apps > Reallusion > LiveUpdate.

this issue is still present in 6.4 https://forum.reallusion.com/241119/Export-to-FBX-resets-images-to-applocaltemp3dfx

I tried http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=22694909 and by doing an import/export and it seemed to help by moving the files out of the temp space as appropriate. 

I can confirm this. I exported an iAvatar to a specific directory and found only the FBX file. There should also be a <avatar-name>.FBM folder with the textures. The only way to have this folder created is by reimporting the exported character as this forces the creation of a .FBM folder.

This used to work; I have an export from November 2015 that is correct.  

EDIT: To clarify: this is a problem, because as soon as you close 3DXchange your exported FBX file will have no textures.

I can also confirm this. When exporting to .fbx no texture file.
Also the fbx does not keep the all the viseme and facial morphs of CC characters so facial animation breaks down.

@3DUncovered: Did you try to reimport an exported model from 3DXchange to see if the root disappears then as well? Obviously export to import breaks down somewhere; the question is where.
