Hi Szabolcs, I just re-downloaded the released version of ImplosiaFX (which was released back in February), installed it fresh and then created a sphere and a cylinder mesh in Softimage 2013 and then applied the IFX boolean operation and it worked immediately without error.
I believe you likely have an installation issue on your machine, it may be that multiple different versions of ImplosiaFX are conflicting with each other. This would explain why in another post of yours you said that ImplosiaFX was complaining about missing ICE ports. I am willing to do a Skype screenshare with you later today to help diagnose the installation issue, I am ben.exocortex on Skype.
