@grinch2901 ; so what was the issue? I'm getting the exact same error and everything is a clean install {I started with VWD in Poser back in May but prefer DS and so waited untill the bridge was available - now on the very first try, I get this.............). I also get the message, "Orianna Hair OBJ does not exist" (Orianna hair was the hair I was attempting to "Springify") - well, being DS, no, the OBJ doesn't exist as DS uses DSF's {AFAIK} instead, so...........??

Sorry, I was offline for a while. I see you worked it out but for others, here's what my problem was. I had changed the accounts I use on my PC from one with admin rights to one with regular user rights. When I tried to re-install VWD it requested my admin credentials as expected, I entered them and it succesfully removed the old VWD but never wrote the new one in. So there was no VWD python file anymore. Putting it back made everything work. Probably not a problem many people will see, but if you do get that error it seems to mean that either the bridge thinks VWD is in the wrong place OR VWD is somehow missing from your system.

Regarding the missing OBJ, I found that if you have an item invisible in your scene when you invoke the bridge, if you attempt to use that item as cloth or as collision, it says it can't find the OBJ. I suspect that's because the OBJ export in DAZ Studio will only export visible items so it can't create the OBJ to send over to VWD.
