FrameMaker 2015 throws an error when opening files

I just Installed FrameMaker 2015 (no errors), but when I open a FM 11 file, even after updating it to FM 2015 and importing new formats and element definitions, I receive the following error message in the FM console:

maker: While reading menu customization file C:\Users\smayer.AVIDWW\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\13\WorkSpaces\Structured\WYSIWYGView\menus\menus_structured_authoring.cfg,

maker: (1414) Command or menu named ChildElements has not been defined.

maker: (1415) Command or menu named SiblingElements has not been defined.

maker: (1417) Command or menu named ChildAttributes has not been defined.

maker: (1418) Command or menu named SiblingAttributes has not been defined.

maker: (1420) Command or menu named ChildElements has not been defined.

maker: (1421) Command or menu named SiblingElements has not been defined.

maker: (1423) Command or menu named ChildAttributes has not been defined.

maker: (1424) Command or menu named SiblingAttributes has not been defined.

The configuration file referenced in the message has what I'd expect in terms of the relevant menus. And the Expand/Collapse menus in fact do have the child/sibling elements/attributes options. So I'm puzzled as to why I'm getting this error message. Has anyone else seen it or have any idea how to address the issue? Thanks.

Hello

Have you try to "save as" the FM11 in .mif and open it with FM2015 ?

Hi Wim,

No, I still get the error. I see it when I first launch FM and open an existing file or create a new one, even I'm just using one of the default templates Adobe supplies with FM 2015. It also happens intermittently with older files I open in FM. I haven't heard anything about the problem apart from Harsh's comment above. My workaround is to ignore the error message, since it doesn't seem to affect anything and the menu commands FM thinks are missing in fact are present.

This whole discussion should (a) be moved to the Structured forum & (b) has anyone performed the updates to FM2015 (there’s at least 2 of them) and tried this again?
