For instance, I just purchased the "Magical Moves" & the "Assassin Moves" animation packs. In the "Order History" page of my account ... in the "Download" column there is a link called "Install.RLD". A few weeks ago I installed some sort of Reallusion content downloader, so I've got that somewhere on my computer, but I don't know where. Is there supposed to be some sort of shortcut which opens this "content downloader"? Am I supposed to install new content using that content downloader? Anyway, so with both the above animation packs, I've simply clicked the "Install.RLD" links, saved them to any old place on my computer and then run them. Do these "Install.RLD" thingies automatically place my new content in the correct folders of my iClone program? I hope so. Am I supposed to click the "Install.RLD" link for each item? That's what I've been doing each time. Do I delete the Install.RLD file after the installation is finished? For my After Effects projects I often buy scripts & add-ons from AEScripts.com. To install newly purchased scripts, I use their special installer. When I buy something from AEScripts, rather than downloading it from my AEScripts account, I simply open my desktop AEScripts Installer ... If I'm logged in to my Installer, it displays my new AEScripts purchases ... and I then go ahead and run the install link from the Installer -- rather than from my account page within AEScripts.com Is that how the Reallusion content installer is meant to work also? Is there an up-to-date "how to" video on the correct way to install iClone content? Thanks for any help or advice on all this. Best Wishes, Prodos Edited 6 Years Ago by prodos

When you click on the "Install.Rld" link a window will open in the lower part of your Browser giving you the options to "Open", "Save" or "Cancel". You need to click on "Open" and this will call up the RL Downloader and then start the Download and Install of the item(s) selected. Everything will be installed in the correct Folders and you have the option at the end of the installation to save a text file of just what has been installed where to a location of your choice. You need to do this for each and every item/pack that you purchase.

So at any given time I can pull up the txt file and see where something is installed. The following is an example: Tuesday, September 25, 2018 7:8:34 AM Character Creator for iClone 2Content install finished! You may find your content in the following and [Save Log] to view it later: ccAcc: (12 items) U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Torso/Lord Ashes U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Arm/Lord Ashes U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Leg/Lord Ashes U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Head/Lord Ashes U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Others/Lord Ashes U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Arm/Bases U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Arm U:/_Reallusion/CC2 Folders/Template/Character Creator 2 for iClone Template/Accessory/Others/Reaper Clothing/Freebies ccCloth: (16 items) In addition to seeing the directory structure on your hard drive, you can also see where it is within the application. In this case, it is CC2, so when you open CC2, on the left side you will see the Accessory Icon, click on that, then you will see the Torso icon, click on that, then you will see Lord Ashes folder on the right side of the pane. At least in my case I do because it is installed. So the log will show you where your item is on your hard drive, and where it is within the application.

Clear instructions, screenshots, additional information ... Wow! Didn't expect that! It's like I've joined a cult! (Kidding, of course ... and very grateful for the help.) Also, sort of relieved to know I'm not the only one who's found the process of installing new content ... a bit ... confusing. Best Wishes, Prodos
