Hi, when trying to create a List in Sharepoint 2013 from a List Template created for Sharepoint 2007 I get this error message (Microsoft SharePoint Foundation version 3 templates are not supported in this version of the product). To solve this problem I used the following solution:
- Rename the original .STP to .CAB
- Extract its manifest.xml to a local folder (lets call it {workingfolder})
- Search for the ProductVersion element. This should have a value of 3
- Change its value to 4
- Repackage the manifest.xml into a .CAB. I have done this by using makecab.exe in the C:\Windows\System32 folder
Syntax: makecab.exe {workingfolder}\manifest.xml {workingfolder}\{template-name}.cab - Change the generated cabinet’s extension from .CAB back to .STP and upload it into the _catalogs/lt
- Now create your SharePoint list with your template you had updated
The thing is, I would like to know if there is any automated solution maybe using a powershell command.
thanks
