Upgrade Failure?
-
Hi, I'm new to the programming world, but not the computer world. Anyway, I've just recently downloaded Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, and so far I love it. However, I came across an old source file that's opensource on SourceForge.net and downloaded it. I was trying to upgrade the Project1.vbp using the VB2k8 Express upgrade wizard when it told me that the upgrade failed because the mdlFormHandling.bas file was missing. The problem is, I went into the folder and looked and it's not missing. It's right there. I took some screenshots to show you if anyone could please, please, please, please help me. I'm just a lowly college kid! No money for the big guns yet! >.< The Upload Error Screenshot - http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad117/teknozwizard/UpgradeError.jpg[^] File is there Screenshot - http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad117/teknozwizard/Fileisthere.jpg[^] Please help this newb!!!

By the look of it, the studio is looking for the file in a different place. Check the path in the error message, against the path that the bas file is actually in. You may have to copy the file to the path mentioned in the error message.
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

I've got and tried to track through that filepath and.....nothing. I've done a system wide search and I don't have a file labelled "VB98" to try and find and get into to follow the rest of the path. I'm completely at a loss here. I thought that maybe it was looking for a library I didn't have so I went online and downloaded the libraries for VB2k8EE from microsoft's website and installed them, but unfortunately, I'm still having the same trouble....I can't copy the file's into the location because the location it's looking for them in doesn't seem exist and I'm not even sure what the full filepath would be because it gets cut off with the "\...\...\...\VB98\" and etc...I thank you for your response though.

You could try to copy the entire folder with the project you want to upgrade, to another location (preferably a simple one like c:/temp/myproject/), and try and upgrade again from there.
