Upgrade Error - Visual Basic .NET

MadCrazyNewbie

Hey Group,

I have a VB6 Project im trying to use with VB.Net, It lets me open it and
the Upgrade Wizard Launches I click next Select EXE and Click Next Again,
the it errors with:

"Upgrade Failed: Exception Error Occurred: Invalid System Configuration
(Unable to Locate Micorosoft.Visu alBasic.Upgrade Extensions.dll. Please
re-run Setup and try again."

I`ve re-installed VS, i`ve even resorted to setting up a new PC and
installing it on that but to no avail.

Is this a noted problem, does anybody know?

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks
MCN

This won't help you, but the file is also not on my machine, despite the
wizard works.

....

Ummmm, are you sure it's "Micorosoft " - or with one "o" only? With one o,
the file is located in

Programm Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vb7\VBUpgr ade

Do you have it there also or is it missing? The files I have in the
directory are:

Have you tried running filemon and regmon while trying an upgrade? Both
available from www.sysinternals.com and will hopefully give you more
information on what's going missing.
