Migrating BizTalk 2006 R2 sources to BizTalk 2010 : Error converting project file. The element beneath element is unrecognized

Problem:
All my BizTalk 200 R2/Visual Studio 2005 solutions were correctly converted to BizTalk 2010 / Visual Studio 2010 with the exception of one solution where the conversion failed with the following error message:

"Error converting project file. The element <BIZTALK> beneath element <VisualStudioProject> is unrecognized."

It was not a problem with the BizTalk 2010 Developer SDK installation as I succeeded in converting other solutions.

People on the Internet accused the Development/Deployment/Debug/Release solution configurations to be the problem. The correction of my solution configuration did not resolve the conversion problem.

Solution:
Finally, after struggling about half a day, I tried the conversion using the Visual Studio /Upgrade command line and this worked !

devenv "MyBizTalk2006R2VS2005Solution.sln" /Upgrade

Cheers
