How can I manually convert an ASP.NET MVC 2 application to MVC 3?

Question

Does anybody know the minimum steps that are required to be done in order to convert an MVC 2 (.NET 4) application to MVC 3?

I tried the upgrade tool, but it gives errors for my solution.

Is MVC 3 officially released or is it still a release candidate? — ChevCast

Could you email me the conversion log and solution, project, and web.config files of the project that causes the converter to fail? Email is [my user name]@microsoft.com — marcind

There was a bug in the upgrade tool when a solution had solution items or web sites. The bug has been fixed and an updated version of the tool is available on codeplex: http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/59008.
