you don;t need to even install DS at all
all you need is the Poser genesis starter kit installed in the same path structure as your DS files you purchased
in your case would be My Library under C:/Users/My Documents/Daz 3D/studio/My Library
where you installed all your DS products like M5 , V5
in Poser you need to point the script to the Runtime in My Library and you are ready to go
forget about the Poser runtime it have nothing to do with .. it need to be the runtime under My Library
I saw a lot of mistakes by people that still have installed the old DS structures from previews versions and mixing the paths as there are 2 Runtimes and in place of going into Daz 3D\ Studio\My Library \Runtime they go into Daz 3D/Studio4/My Library/Runtime << NO GOOD
DS is installed under Program Files but this have nothing to do with that ..

Ok. I think I understand but I think you missed one key point. I have DAZ Studio 4 Pro, not 4.5. Does that make a difference? My runtime for DS and my runtime for Poser are in 2 different locations. My DS runtime is setup as typical Studio “My library’ structure. i’ll have to look but I think the “My lIbrary” folder is under the “users” folder on the C: drive and not in the same directory as the program files for DAZ Studio. I didnt set it up that way, that was how Studio installed things. So again I ask, do I need to have 4.5 in order for things to work correctly? And if that’s the case the product documentation needs to state that somewhere so idiots like me can see it.
No, you don’t need DS4.5 (only if you are buying content that is 4.5 only, like Mavka for Genesis).
Form the second paragraph in the first post of this thread.
DAZ Introduces the DAZ Scene Object Notation (DSON) Importer for Poser. DSON is a new file format (introduced in DAZ Studio 4.5) developed by DAZ 3D that enables the transport of scene and figure information between applications.
“DSON Importer for Poser - DSON Importer for Poser - Win32” has to be installed to the place where the Poser software is installed.
The Genesis Starter Essentials have BOTH to be installed in a runtime outside of you Windows C:\programs .... folder.
You can use your existing DS4 My library folder for both.
Then you have to add this runtime to the Poser library by clicking on the + at the bottom of the library.
If you made two runtimes (for Poser and for DS) add both to your library.

Seems to imply you need 4.5 to use DSON.
To convert content that isn’t yet available in 4.5 format with companion files - but that isn’t the case here.

No, you only need it to CREATE DSON files.
If you are happy with waiting for DAZ to create them you can (for example if you are a “I love Poser - I hate DazStudio” user) live without Dazstudio.
all he need is Runtime from My Library structure where he have all the morphs for genesis
and not Poser Runtime as this have nothing to do with ( the My Library need to be added to Poser as DS Runtime after to have access to all the companion files) , DSON was created to work without DS or the need for installation,
all products need to be in DUF format and created with DS4.5 that what DAZ is doing right now and all PA’s updating all products to DS4.5 and DUF other way it will never works in Poser as the companion files need to be generated and for that you need 4.5 DUF files
the re install of Poser SR3 may work , Daz mentioned also that the preferences in Poser need to be kept intake while installation and not reset , other way he need to install DSON again to make it work

Where do you have your Poser runtime?
You told us about your My library, but not your Poser runtime ...
Edited to add: for some people it helped just to reinstall the Poser SR3 (don’t ask why, it just worked).
go into C:/Users/My Documents/Daz3D/Studio /My Library / no Runtime in his case as the files will generate Runtime there if it is not there already, if you install into Runtime you will get double Runtime folder and the data he already installed will never load into poser beside the genesis core

Thanks Richard & Kerya.
I use both so thanks for the information. I did not pick that bit up before, valuable info.
Ok, random question #45219: How would one go about setting up a hotkey for Save As -> Support Asset -> Figure Prop Asset in DS4.5 ? :D
Window>Workspace>Customise, on the left find the Save filters and then the filter you want under that, right-click on it and from the menu choose Change keyboard shortcut, press the key combination you want to use.
Richard, you are a gem, thank you!!!
Changing over the pieces of Winter Kingdom, one at a time, left me wishing for a quicker way than navigating down through a couple of tiers of menu to convert them. :D But they load perfectly, along with my snowy-terrain shader I made ages ago! Yay!
Now I just need to convert the materials over… eh… maybe next month. LOL!
Thanx to everyone for all your help! unfrtunately now that i got the content manager problem solved having yet again another conflict, i get my clothing exported as poser content, when i try to load in Poser 2012 it goes thru loading process but shows up invisable in Poser? Not getting this, lol, help is very much appriciated, i’m sure its something simple that im just over looking, I’m very sorry for bothering everyone with my problems. the cr2 loads and it says the clothing is there ( the name is present) just cant see it newhere
