How to Open TestComplete 3 project suite file in TestComplete 8.10

I know that the file needs to be converted, but I can't see how to do that.  The error message I'm getting when attempting to open it is:



"Cannot open the <file> file  because it is not a valid project suite or project file."



The .pjs file was creating using TestComplete 3.12.  Here are the contents of the file:

[Projects]


[Projects.Prj0]

ID=0

Name=Gaz.mds

Description=


[Root]

Version=2.0

Purpose=Project Suite main file






Thanks for any help.

    Hi Mike,



    Actually, the TestComplete 3 Compatibility extension is not available for TestComplete 8. You will have to recreate your test projects.

    By recreating the projects, I'm guessing that it's only the main structural parts that need recreated (MDS, Script node, TestApps node, etc).  Script code units can probably be ported over easily as they are simply text files.  Keyword tests, I'm guessing, may need to be recreated as well.

    Thanks again everyone.  The extension sounded promising, but I kind of suspected that things might have to be re-created.  Tech support confirmed that in a response today.
