 A backup of every project is done before changing.
 

     BaseProjects are only upgraded when a major version change is done. For minor changes the base Project will stay unchanged.
 Each project found produces a system message with the upgrade result.
 Handle Folder:

 When FileTypes is set, the params Archive/BaseProject/UpgradeWriteProtectedProjects are ignored.
