Did a clean install of 3.2 today, opened project compiled everything and ran it no problem. Moved one of my 3.1 custom themes into the 3.2 themes directory rebuilt it and ran it. When I switch to one of the custom themes I get a razor file version incompatability error message saying razor 2 files not compatable with razor 3 files.

{"[A]System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection cannot be cast to [B]System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection. Type A originates from 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' in the context 'Default' at location 'C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.Net\\assembly\\GAC_MSIL\\System.Web.WebPages.Razor\\v4.0_2.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\\System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll'.

Any quick response appreciated.

So far I found that the config section in the root theme web.config file needs to be modified in 3.1 themes to the newer version of razor and acouple other items as well.

Now Im dealing with another issue dealing with the Menu model.

{"A public action method 'Menu' was not found on controller 'Nop.Web.Controllers.CommonController'."}

Apparently the Menu Model, common menu stuff has all been moved to Top Menu under Catalog so if you have customized  menu .cshtml it has to be rewritten now that the class is gone. This probably should have been left for backwards compatability. Just sayin...

Are you able to Add a Controller, or even Add a View to a Controller?
I can't do either.

I just installed 3.2 in Visual Studio 2012. I just updated it to.

But I have 3.1 open in VS 2012 and have no trouble added Controllers and Views.

It seems the application didn't install as an MVC application, I'm guessing.

Thanks.  Not getting any error. Just can't add controllers and views.

When I right click the Controllers folder, Add,  there is no "Controller . . . " on the menu.
I can't add Views either.

I don't have this problem when I open 3.1 in VS 2012.
This is strange.

now the 3.2 app is not finding the style.css that is in the 3.1 themes folder that I brought over to 3.2. spent an hour trying to figure this one out.

I had the same issues when I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2 last night. I will wait for a solution to upgrade the furniture theme to be compatible with 3.2.

Any ideas when if/when this will be done. Or if someone has complete fix for this, then I can apply. Since my furniture theme has been customized for my site.

There were some design changes to 3.2 like the menu you've  mentioned  
Further, the structure and file name were changed

I don't think 3.1 theme will fit the changes made in 3.2

if u wish to adjust the old theme for the new version, u should follow all the css / views that have changed.
go to codeplex and look for the changes and change your theme
