"The source file format is invalid"

[doylelab]

After a reboot, I am trying to open up a few LabVIEW NXG files that I had been running. They are all contained in the same project and all open up except for one, which gives me the error message: "An error occurred while trying to load "XXX.gvi". The source file format is invalid." Does anyone know how to address this?

I'm guessing it became corrupt.  You'll probably have to retrieve the last version saved in your versioning software.  The irony of it all is that NI decided to make it easier on versioning software by making NXG VIs xml (text) based so that versioning software can store them in a more efficient manner, but actually what happened is that now the corruptions you can see when versioning software tries to creatively merge conflicts in your xml-based project file now apply to ALL your LabVIEW (NXG) files.

I am assuming you know that the NXG branch of LabVIEW has been pruned?
