I want to convert my old vb6 project to a vb.Net solution, when I open do: File->Open->Convert this is what I get:

enter image description here

And I can’t find a way to show the available converters…

I have try:

  • Installing framework 1.0 since I read somewhere that it’s needed
  • Tried to install framework 2.0 but it’s says “I have it” but it’s not showing in the uninstall programs list
  • Tried to install framework 3.0, same as before.
  • I even try to add the Microsoft.VisualBasic.UpgradeWizard.dll via regasm but I can’t open a console command in VS2008, only in VS2010 and I have read that VS2010 can’t handle the conversion from vb6 to vb.net, it has to pass over VS2008 first.

Thanks in advance!

    It’s not perfect, it has some errors, but its a step forward for a complete solution.

    Of course I’ve found some other 3rd party conversion programs, but they are expensive:

    Hope it helps someone else!
