Ok, I guess I didn't put the files in the correct folder. 

Now since I've moved them around to where I think they should go (the VSSIndoor and VSSOutdoor in the Light folder, the vss folder in the Python folder and the VSSFigureProps in the Props folder) and I click Synchronize I get a window that opens up that has the below text:

"The file has a newer version number than expected. Poser will attempt to read it anyway."

Then it waits for a very long while and then Object VSS 1 shows up in the Material section.

Then when I click Synchronize, I get another window, screenshot attached, then another window that says, Please locate temp.mc6, which I can't find.

Something seems to be amiss here.  Any ideas?
