Not in Windows; User Account Control prevents writing to the C:/Program files hierarchy by the user.

I'm working with Windows 7. UAC does not prevent writing to the C:/Program. At least not in the Professional edition. And of course that can be manually changed for the Poser folder too. Which is easier than to splatter Poser files around the C: drive. But I use only one Runtime anyway...

So @generation2235 my way works for me and it should for you too. But @WandW's way is also working - if your UAC is on and you don't want to change that.

My folder structure looks like this:

In the 'DSON' folder you see a folder named 'auto_adapted' - that is created by Poser after you've loaded a figure that needs DSON into Poser. I moved the 'Data' folder from DAZ Studio into that DSON folder because somehow that works better. The 'Runtime' folder in the 'DSON' folder is created by DAZ Studio after you link the 'DSON' folder in DAZ Studio! It's an empty Runtime dummy.

Don't forget to link the 'DSON' folder (I named it DSON) to the libraries in DAZ Studio (if you use DS for converting general weight items to Triax) and Poser!

You can use your Poser Runtime in DAZ Studio too. You just have to link that additionally if you use DS.

The paths for the two different DSON importers into Python I've already described.

I have time to help you. Just PM me.

As happens occasionally... Yours is different from mine. Where did you find that little window with the DSON folder in it and where did you find the other stuff down at the bottom?
