Error while Migrating Display Element to PG2

We are upgrading VB Process Graphics to PG2. For some "Faceplate Element" aspects the Migration Tool fails with an error message "VbProject CTL File is being used by another process. Please Try Again". No PG2 graphic is created

Has anyone seen this error before ?

(No, we are not editing the VB graphic that is being upgraded)

No VB6.exe is not running. It does however start during the conversion process because its needed to read the contents of the element that's being converted. I suspect there's a timing problem when the conversion tool tries to access the VB Project files.

Strange. Is it possible to open this faceplate elements for editing in the normal way? Maybe there is an different error, and the message is just misleading.

Looks like the error is specific to version 5.0.0. I've just run the converter in a 5.1 system on the same graphic elements and its working. Or at least isn't giving the same errors. The graphic elements still don't convert very well due to custom VB code.

The converter doesn't convert VB code at all. It doesn't even convert simple code like str() in expressions. What kind of custom VB code is used? I remember the original ABB freelance VBPG faceplates using so many VB-Code, they created new faceplates for PG2.
