Import setup created in IA IDE into a Visual Studio 2019 Solution

1. I created an IA IDE setup in the \InstallAwareApp\ folder shown on the top when I evaluated IA.
2. Now I have purchased IA and want to integrate my existing IA setup into VS 2019
3. The IA extension in VS 2019 created the \InstallAware\ folder on the bottom with the TPC20R1_Mixed Platforms.iaext.prjconf file.
4. How do I get the existing IA IDE setup in \InstallAwareApp\?

Please tell me there is an easy way without having to re-create the IA IDE setup inside VS 2019.

It's not available a built-in method for importing a setup created using the IA IDE into a IA VS Extension setup.
This because the IA VS extension cannot load the proprietary project file generated by the IA IDE, but it uses an its own "prjconf" file instead.

Of course it's possible to load an IA VS Extension project from the IA IDE, but unfortunately not the contrary.
