Hi friend,

I have copied the WD18 project and i have start the automatic migration on WD20 but the procedure give me this error:

Error loading project.
Unable to complete initialization:

Hi Giovanni,

assuming that you are using a legal copy of WINDEV 20 ... the differences between v18 and v20 aren't very big in regards to the project's structure.

So, the v18-project's structure seems to be defective already! Sometimes projects can be broken without experiencing any error messages. Especially the analysis, believe me.

First step: make a backup copy of the whole project.
Second, delete the complete .cpl directory!
Third, there's an option "Repair the project" - execute that.
Fourth, there is an option "Repair the analysis" - do that as well.

And now try to load the project with WD20 again ... good luck!

Hi Guenter,
(back after a rather long absence...)

Somewhere on this forum, somebody (Fabrice?) recommended to:
- First copy the project from the previous version into a new folder for the new version.
- Second, open this copy of the project in the new folder with the previous version of WD first.
This should adapt (for lack of a better word) all the dependencies to the new location (iirc).
- Third, now the project can be opened with WD20 in the new folder.

Is this proceure not necessary anymore, e.g. can a copy of the project in the new folder be opened by WD20 directly, without the second step, above?

Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Hi Charles,

making a backup of the project first is the same thing like copying it to another directory and starting it afterwards. There's no difference. You will detect bad spots on your hard disk by both procedures and if it works ok, you'll have a good backup for a restart.

Hi Guenter,

Thanks for the info.

The reason I asked is that when I earlier migrated to a new version of WD, it somehow 'lost' references to ressources (namely the images, style sheets, etc. marking the location of the missing stuff with red crosses... ).

I *guess* that this was the reason that Fabrice (?) suggested to first open the project with the previous version of WD in it's new location, before opening it with the latest and greatest?..

Well, if this intermediate step isn't necessary anymore, then fine by me :-) . I will try it out...

Hi Giovanni,

Guenter is right, sometime in newer version, certain functions may not work the same as in older version.

i have project in WD12 , i can't upgrade to WD14 or to latest version because a function that work in wd12 analysis doesn't work anymore in WD14 and above . since pc-soft don't want to fixed that bugs and modify my program is equal to rewrite the program , the solution is that the project stay in wd12 .

hope you are not unlucky like me

Hi CCC2,

could you shed some light on the function which doesn't work in v12? Maybe, we can help?

I have a big, old WINDEV 5.5 project and every now and then I should do small maintenance jobs. Unfortunately, since the changes in the dongle driver, WINDEV 5.5 can't be started anymore. Silently and suddenly without any warning, I've been closed out of that project. And yes, there was a fix 85158 for that, but now even this one doesn't work anymore.

the problem is with analysis . in wd12 , you can see tables/view that the user account (use in db connection) has privileges, even tables/view from other database . but somehow wd14 onward I can't do that anymore .
