Problems to convert Elements 5 catalog to Elements 2018

[jollier humdrum]

Hi

I have PS Elements 5 and PS Elements 2018 installed on the same Win 10_64 and intend to upgrade to the latter.

I want to convert my Elements 5 catalogs to Elements 2018 and thus enter the Catalog Manager.
Here I press the Convert button, but find the catalog table empty.

The "Find more catalogs" options let me browse to the Elements 5 catalogs and I select the relevant folder.

I automatically return to the Catalog Manager but the catalog table is still empty, and so I can not point out the catalog to convert.

I find no discussions on the forum regarding this issue.

Please advice

Elements 5 is very old and its catalog structure was very different. It was based on a Microsoft Access database engine instead of the Sqlite one used from Elements 6 on.

The conversion utility used in PSE13 (64 bits) does not work without an intermediate step explained in that thec doc.
