<p>I'm building the ICU [1] library on Appveyor. When building
using VS 2012, as one step, I need to upgrade a VS 2010 solution to
a VS 2012 solution using WDExpress. I cannot use devenv, since I
think it's not included with the Express version of VS 2012.</p>
<p>But for some reason, the WDExpress /Upgrade command just
hangs:</p>
<p><a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/estan/minimal-icu/build/1.0.27/job/o4mbnfbuofbmtf5l">
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/estan/minimal-icu/build/1.0.27/job/...</a></p>
<p>No output is given, so I'm a bit stumped on what to do next. Has
anyone successfully used WDExpress /Upgrade on Appveyor?</p>

Studio 2012 Express does not support the /Upgrade switch. I find it
strange though that I get no output, just a hang.</p>
<p>If it really doesn't support this switch, does anyone know of a
command from Visual Studio 2012 Express that can be used to upgrade
a solution from 2010 format to 2012 format?</p></div>elvstonetag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/389495642016-01-18T21:49:22Z2016-01-18T21:49:22ZWDExpress /Upgrade from VS 2012 hangs on Appveyor<div><p>I have since cancelled the job i linked above, since I need to
try some other stuff. But it was hanging on that last line for the
most part of the 48 minutes that I let it run.</p></div>elvstonetag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/389495642016-01-18T23:34:56Z2016-01-18T23:34:56ZWDExpress /Upgrade from VS 2012 hangs on Appveyor<div><p>Have you tried looking via RDP why it hangs: <a href="http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker">http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker</a></p>

take a look.</p>
<p>I'm afraid however that WDExpress.exe that ships with Express
version does not have an /Upgrade switch anyway, so I'll need to
find some other way.</p></div>elvstone
