How to convert aPMI project to Ignition Vision Panel Edition

I am a current user of Factory PMI/SQL. I want to try using Ignition Vision Panel Edition. Can I just convert one of my projects to Ignition Vision Panel Edition? I tired to use the upgrade option under backup/resore, but I had to major problems:
When I tried to restore the PMI backup, the text said everything worked great, but the projects are not in the system? I cannot tell that it did anything.
When I tried to restore the SQL backup, there were no options in map to drop down list for the database connections, but it would not let me proceed without a selection, even if I unchecked importing the database.

What version of Ignition do you have? We have fixed quite a few legacy restore problems. The latest version right now is 7.1.6 online. You may want to upgrade first.

I just downloaded it yesterday. I am running 7.1.6 (b5739).

Can you upload your wrapper.log so we can see what happened during the restore? If you can upload your FactorySQL or FactoryPMI projects to inductiveautomation.com/uploads we can try it here.
