Project 2013: Upgrade-SPProjectWebInstance – ActivatePWAWebThemesFeature failed

by

Trying to upgrade a Project instance from 2010 to 2013:

Upgrade-SPProjectWebInstance https://url/pwa

I got the following error:

Upgrade-SPProjectWebInstance : Post provision setup failed.
ActivatePWAWebThemesFeature failed.
At line:1 char:1
+ Upgrade-SPProjectWebInstance https://url/pwa
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solution:

You need to firstly upgrade the SharePoint site to 20103 to get the feature available::

Upgrade-SPSite -Identity https://url/pwa -versionupgrade

Then start again the pwa upgrade:

Upgrade-SPProjectWebInstance https://url/pwa
