Run VPP Migration Tool on EPiServer 8?

Hi,

We have a site that used to be a EPiServer 7 an now it has been migrated to EPiServer 8. In this processes the VPP Migration Tool was forgotten so we now have a EPiServer 8 site where the Media doesn't work.

My question is if it's possible to do a VPP Migration on EPiServer 8 in some way, or do we have to redo the migration and remember the VPP Migration Tool when we're on 7.5.

I get the following error when I run the tool on the 8 site and if I remove EPiServer.GoogleAnalytics, it's failing on EPiServer.Shell.Initialization.

Initialize action failed for Initialize on class EPiServer.GoogleAnalytics.InitializationModule, EPiServer.GoogleAnalytics, Version=1.7.1.8000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

Hi Svart,

The pre-compiled VPP migration tool requires 7.5.394.2 binaries. However, you can download the source code of the tool and compile the tool to support your version. Here is a link to download the source code: http://world.episerver.com/download/Items/EPiServer-CMS/vpp-migration-tool/
