I haven't seen this particular problem posted yet...so here goes.  I downloaded the VSS script and the new zip file with the prop in it this morning.  This is the first time that I've tried this.

I dropped the Runtime folder into my main Poser 6 folder (which I do for all Python scripts) and I dropped the VSSPR2Test.pp2 file into the VSS folder within the Props folder in that Runtime.

I first loaded my character and posed him.  Then I tried to load the prop.  I sat there for a few minutes waiting for it to load and finally did the Alt/Ctrl/Delete routine to check the Task Manager.  At this point Poser showed as Not Responding.  I Ended the program and started again from scratch...same result.  The last time that I started from scratch and got the Not Responding from the Task Master, I did not immediately End the program but instead, came back to this forum to see if anyone else was having the problem.  While I was reading, the prop finally loaded...who knew it would take so long?

Next, I opened my Python Script Menu...clicked on an empty button and brought in your VssMainButtons.py.  I then clicked on the button and got the following message:

Cannot get vss script location properly - trying hack
'C:Documents and Settingsx07dminMy DocumentsPoserCurious LabsPoser6Runtime'
'C:Documents and Settingsx07dminMy DocumentsPoserCurious LabsPoser6Runtime'

The double backslashes are there...and x07dmin is supposed to be admin.

I can see your vss buttons now, but if I press, for example, the Synchronize one I get:

File "C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsPoserPoser6RuntimePythonvssvss.py", line 878, in synchronizeScene
Synchronize (figure)
File "C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsPoserPoser6RuntimePythonvssvss.py", line 870, in Synchronize
synchronizePair(smats, tmats)
File "C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsPoserPoser6RuntimePythonvssvss.py", line 733, in synchronizePair
srcstd = shaderTreeDictionary(scrmats)
File "C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsPoserPoser6RuntimePythonvssvss.py", line 257, in ShaderTreeDictionary
std[mat.ExtName()] = mat.ShaderTree()
AttributeError: ExtName

If it's not obvious, I'm using Poser 6.

Thanks,
