Unity 4 to Unity 5 project upgrade stuck at 50% (Solved)

Questions & Answers
1

I just installed Unity 5, (upgraded from 4) and the project updater can’t get past 50%.

At the advice of some other post, I deleted every file but the /Assets and /ProjectSettings folders, but this did not help.

Any clues on how to diagnose or get around this issue? Am I missing something?

[EDIT] Ok it worked.

I had been waiting about 15-20 minutes with it hung at 50% previously. Then I just tried it again and walked away. It must have been at least half an hour. When I came back it was all done. So, yeah, just wait longer. I just didn’t think it would take so long, as my project is very simple!

I would just keep trying till it works.

Mine stuck at 50% . I checked in the taskmanager and it wasnt listed in applications and in processes unity was using 0 cpu. So I killed it in processes and started all over again and it didn’t freeze.

Another idea: Export everything to a package in 4 then import that to a blank project in 5
