I am trying to migrate a project from 2.6 to 4.0

I am following the steps in the README, but I am running into a problem. I've downloaded and installed this migration template:

v2.x to v4.x migration templates 14-Nov-2013 11142013

and have unpacked it into the 2.6 installation folder. Per the readme, I have done the following:

_Start the LLBLGen Pro v2.x designer and load the project to convert. Press F7 to bring up the code generation dialog. For 'Template group' you select 'LLBLGen Pro v4'. Choose a .NET version (.NET 2.0/3.5/4.0) and language (C#). Specify the destination root folder you want the llblgenproj file to be created in. _

The next step is Click 'Start generator', but the button is disabled. Please help! Also, something I noticed - I don't know if it is supposed to be, but everything on the "Task queue to execute" tab is blank/empty...

(I've selected .NET 3.5)

Thanks! Steve

Which Designer version (release date) are you using?

Would the button be enabled if you selected another .NET Framework version?

Version 2.6 Final October 6, 2008

No, the button is disabled for all .NET versions.

Your LLBLGen v2.6 is old. Please try installing the latest version. Then repeat all steps on Installation and Usage according to V2xToV4Migration_readme.txt.

I tried it and it actually works just fine.

I've downloaded the latest version of 2.6 (10/9/2009) and I'm still seeing the same problem - the Start Generator button is disabled. I'm going to try attaching screenshots of the 3 tabs of the Generate window.

The 3rd screenshot: no task is selected for execution. (SD.LLBLGen.Pro.V4ProjectFile)

Yes that's correct. The drop down is empty (there are no options available).

The Tasks folder did not extract into the directory for some reason. It's in there now and there is now an option in the Task drop down. With that option selected, the Start Generator button is enabled!
