Error 1 'Sub Main' is declared more than once in 'MyUpgradedProject':
MyUpgradedProject.My.MyApplication.Main(Args() As String),
MyUpgradedProject.modFunctions.Main()

Did a search through both the project and the files and cannot find
My.MyApplication.Main. I'm guessing this is some reference that the upgrade
"wizard" created in a buried file. Any ideas?

Earl,

By default has a form project a hidden Sub main class.

Although that should not be used if you are using your own Sub main.

Have you looked in the properties of the application what is the Start up.
If it is a Form than you do not need in fact the Sub main.
However some as by instance Herfried like to start a program with Sub Main.
(By instance for setting the visual styles)
