Quote - I'm running P 2012, but have all my daz stuff in my Poser 8 runtime.  I accepted the defaults when installing the new files.  I don't see Genesis anywhere in either my P 2012 or Poser 8 under "Daz People" or otherwise.

You did install both the full Genesis Start Essentials and the Poser companion files? Do you have a Data folder sitting nextt o one of your Runtimes (presumably the one in the Poser 8 Content folder)?
