WikiTraccs comes with two console applications - WikiTraccs.GUI and WikiTraccs.Console.

WikiTraccs.GUI is mainly for easy configuration. When starting the migration, it passes the configuration you made to WikiTraccs.Console.

The zip release you download contains those two applications:

When you extract the zip file, this folder structure needs to be intact. WikiTraccs.GUI expectes WikiTraccs.Console to be in a folder adjacent to itself. Starting from the location of its own WikiTraccs.GUI.exe it "goes one folder level up", searches for a folder called "WikiTraccs.Console" and expects the WikiTraccs.Console.exe to be in there.

When it cannot find WikiTraccs.Console.exe at the expected location it shows the Cannot find WikiTraccs companion application error, that you see.

There might be different causes:

• folders have been renamed or removed
• all files have been extracted to the same folder (flat, without hierarchy)
• a security tool blocks WikiTraccs.GUI.exe from accessing WikiTraccs.Console.exe

@Skachuk does this help? If not, please check the common log files for errors and/or send them to contact @ wikitransformationproject.com and I'll have a look.
