Vintorix, I had no problem installing the DSON importer or getting Genesis to work in Poser via that importer. I simply followed the instructions and voilà. But I do understand that things don't always work perfectly well, particularly with older systems. You should have heard me swearing when I tried to use a simple headset with my laptop. But that pretty much goes with the territory. If you install enough random crap into your machines, you get better at troubleshooting.

So, yes. I totally agree that knowing how to install means knowing how to fix problems.

All I'm saying is that very often the first step that people use in fixing problems is to post them on a forum, instead of reading the instructions that came with whatever they're installing. At that point, they are then at the mercy of fate. They might get a response that answers their questions clearly and helps fix the issues. Or they might get someone telling them to fix problems they don't have and/or offering suggestions that were a decent work-around ten years ago.

The staying power of some of the myths amazes me. I mean, there are people who actually think they need to turn off UAC in order to run Poser, and other people who are uninstalling their antivirus protection in order to install Daz exe's.

ETA: And this is pertinent to this discussion in at least so much as I've read more than one post over at Daz telling people that the DSON importer won't work if you have Poser installed into Program Files, and at least post telling people that it won't work if you don't have Poser installed into Program Files. Both of these statements are false. If people can't get proper information about the basic installation of this plugin, I hold little hope that actually converting items themselves will become a seamless and simple operation for the typical user.
