Performed a fresh install of Ignition **8.0.0-beta0 (b2019020402)**. Tried to import a project from 7.9.6. Using the project import from the gateway doesnt result in any errors, but opening the project in the designer, there is no vision module in the project Browser. Importing the project from the designer results in a WindowInfo was null. Attached is the error file. I tried removing the window from the import, but it just caused a different window to error.[importError.txt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/6/6d3323a6833cc61a49566cba9198445a65245fd3.txt) (4.6 KB)

Can you share the project export with us (by email)?

If you want to continue testing an upgrade or restore of your 7.9 backup rather than import may work.
