This is a bit old, but I had the same problem. Given the number of tutorials out there, “just use the new system” doesn't sound like much of a solution to me.

After some digging around I found you can create an old style popsolver in 13 if you need one with some Python or Hscript. Here's a Python snippet:


hou.node(hou.ui.selectNode()).createNode(“popsolver”, exact_type_name=True).moveToGoodPosition()


The key is exact_type_name, as the default new solver is called popsolver::2.0.
