Hi ess1.
I'm afraid there is not another solution.
The best bet is to get a hold of TRS2006 (which contains just about all Auran's built in stuff from way back). Then use CMP to select the built in items you need and open for edit. Close CMP and open CM2. Click on 'import content' and navigate to the TRS2006 'editing' folder. There you will find the content ready for exporting. Click the editing folder and all assets inside should install to TRS2009.
Go back to TRS2006 and commit the items that are open for edit.
Nothing to it.
It's worth the price of TRS2006 just to have it handy for these occasions. At least in my opinion.
Cheers
