Failure of DzCreateExPFiles-V4 to execute - Mac OS X 10.8.2/Poser 9

I can't get the "Update V4" (or any other update script) to run.

When I double click on the DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command file in the !DAZ folder, I get the following error:

It's always been like this - it hasn't prevented me from using V4 before, but now its not working with a set of morph injections I want to use. Any ideas?

I get the exact same error. I have purchased some V4 morphs from Zev0 and it looks like they install but there are no parameters (sliders) for the injections. The readme says to run DzCreateExPFiles but when I do, I get the error.

I don't have that python script so I can't really say what the error is, but as it looks like a python script in an app-wrapper, my guess is that the app-wrapper is ppc-built and you are running on a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later (which do not have Rosetta PPC emulation anymore).

Yes, I'm on OSX 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion).

So, two questions:

(a) should running that command be necessary every time I install a new morphs package, and

(b) if so, is there any chance that DAZ will give Mac users a working command?

I don't understand Python or programming but then I don't think I should be expected to, as a user rather than a product producer.

I did some searching (and I did find the file, was ages since I installed V4 )
It is a shellscript launching DzCreateExPFiles.app in the directory where params point to it.
The appiication DzCreateExPFiles.app is located in Runtime/libraries/!DAZ
If the script is run in the same directory as the application it works fine on 10.8.4, so I think you are running it at the wrong place.

You can double-click the scripts there.

Well, mine is here:

Documents/DAZ3D/My Library/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ

I go to that directory, double click it and get the error.

EDIT: Oh, sorry, I didn't spot the .app in your post (that's why I didn't get what you were saying). I have no idea where the .app is. I'll do a search.

EDIT [2]: Yes, confirmed it is in the same directory (my Mac doesn't display the .app extension so I found it with the Get Info utility).

Update:

I worked with Zev0 on solving this. Turns out that the command discussed above wasn't the issue - it was that the morph injection requires a Base V4.2 figure - not one that already has a pre-configured character already injected. After that it is ok to inject the character and everyone is happy :)

Thanks go out to Zev0.
