Hi,
I’m trying to open a project created in 4.5 in 4.7.3 and conversion process keeps crashing.
I’ve followed instructions here for manually converting a project from one version of engine to another, but when I do I get following errors:

Can anyone suggest reasons for these and/or how to resolve them?

Thanks in advance,

In your source files… you wouldn’t happen to be using PCIP would you?

I’m not really sure what you mean…?
There were no source files or code added to project originally, but I had to add a blank class to project in order to follow instructions for manual conversion as detailed in link.

Hi teed,

It looks like you’re using a plugin that may be causing issue. Have you verified that plugin works in 4.7.3, and that you have latest version of it? You may need to update plugin in 4.5 first.

Turns out it was Substance plugin.
I got help from Josh at Allegorithmic here
