Hi there,

You have to 'change' some components first:
- In the PCB editor window right-click on a component and
  choose 'Footprint....' -> 'Edit'
- Under the 'Properties' tab on the right-hand side change
  Attributes from 'Normal' to 'Normal+Insert'
- Close window with 'OK' and try in the main menu
  'Postprocess'->'Create Module Pos' again. This time it will
  create a *.pos file in your project directory

Cheers, Heiko
