Hi all. I had been having some trouble using the batch upgrade utility for upgrading my 2010 families to 2011, and since I scoured the internet for 2 hours and didn't find a solution, I thought it might be beneficial to future users if I posted the solution I came up with.
In one step of this process, you're supposed to drag and drop the Upgrade_RFA.txt file onto the Revit shortcut, and then the upgrade process is supposed to begin. However, after the first file opens, I was getting an error message about a journal error, and my only option was to enter "interactive mode".
As it turns out, the problem is that you can't drag and drop the Upgrade_RFA.txt file onto the Revit shortcut if that shortcut is on your QuickLaunch bar; it only works if the shortcut is on the desktop itself.
Hope this helps someone else.
