I have an existing website (project) www.berkskfa.org.uk which I created using WebSite x5 v8 Compact. I have just purchased WebSite X5 Evolution 13 but can't figure out how to convert the existing project. I've tried to follow the instruction...
- In WebSite X5 v12 (or earlier), open the project you want to upgrade, go to Step 5 and choose Export Project, specifying the destination folder. You'll get a compressed file in .IWZIP format containing both the project file and the linked files.
...but my WebSite X5 V8 Compact doesn't create .IWZIP, it just creates an exact copy of the existing folder.
Does this mean that I have to recreate my website from scratch?
Any advice and help gratefully received.

You need version 9 to do that.
If you send me the project I will convert it for you.
There are also other users that can do this. (search the forum)

Send me the project, by a transfer site or by mail if it is no so big .
You can save the project like this:
For V7 or V8 upload, please use step5 export and batch to folder, no optimzation, then zip the created folder.
If it's too big you can ask for a login code for my upload service. Just mail me (click my picture/avatar)
