convert old Compaq Fortran project

[horst_haas_a_itp_fzk]

Another very important question. It is said that the old Compaq Fortran project (workspace .dsw) can be automatically converted. But when I tried to do it, it is said that the project has been corrupted and cannot be opened. This is very bad for me since I have to repeat my works.

I open one file explore. Like this one
D:long tubespeed
where my project file speed.dsw (and speed.dsp) is located. I right click on it, then a window appears. Within this window I choose open with. There two options. If I choose Microsoft Developer Studio. The project is opened with my old Compaq Visual Fortran (CVF). No any problem. If I choose another option to open with Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector, the MVS is invoked,but an error message comes: The project file 'D:long tubespeedspeed.dsp' hass been corrupted and cannot be opened.

1st recommendation: create a clone directory copy of your exisiting directory BEFORE opening/converting to new version of Visual Studio/IVF
2nd, start up MVS, then click open project and browse to the CVF project.
Once it is imported then use the Convert project option, etc (which i expect is discussed in the prior thread link)
last question: what version of IVF/Visual Studio are you going to? Have you opened/played with any samples (you should always try some samples to be sure everything is working OK before importing old CVF projects).

This happens sometimes, but it's never clear to me why. My usual advice is that it isn't worth the time to try to solve this for a one-shot event - just create a new project and move on.

I have seen issues where the folder structure of the workspace didn't match what was in the .dsw/.dsp.

If you would like me to investigate, create a ZIP of the CVF workspace (I don't need the source files, but I do need the exact folder structure you are trying to convert) and attach it to a reply here (see below for attachment instructions.)
