Getting Vic 5 / dson importer to work in poser 12

Jerryoj

Hello, I have bought vic 5 hoping to use it in poser 2012 along with the Dson importer, I have installed many times in different folders and so far still have not been able to get vic 5 to come in my poser directory so I can select vic 5 along with all the other stuff that came out with vic 5 pack. Can anyone point me to a help screen that might actually help? I have my old daz stuff in a "Pose_MyLibrarys" directory with different directories for Stephanie / Vic_4 / Vic_3 etc. I made a directory for _Vic_5, installed the vic5 zip file to that directory but when I try to open the vic5 charactor from pose 2012 I get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\_Pose_MyLibrarys\_Vic_5\Runtime\libraries\Character\DAZ People\Genesis.py", line 1, in
import dson.dzdsonimporter
ImportError: No module named dson.dzdsonimporter

Can someone help me get this working, I've had vic 5 for over a month and still can't get her to open in poser pro 2012.

It sounds as if the DSON Importer is not correctly installed, or as if you have not updated Poser Pro 2012 to SR3. Have you updated?

I had not upgraded to SR3 but I did just upgrade. I tried Vic5 again and I am still getting the same error. Should I install the dson importer to the Poser2012 directory or to the _Vic5 directory? I tried different directories before trying to get it to work, last install was into the _Vic5 directory. Thanks for any help.

The Importer goes to the Poser application folder, the Poser Comapnion Files and DS Core files for V5 go to your Vict5 folder (or whatever external library you wish to sue).

I reinstalled dson after the poser12 sr3 upgrade & vic5 is now working with the importer. I installed the vic5 content and it all seems to be working also. Thanks for your help. Jerry
