Failed to load .capx (first file locate)

Failed to load .capx

Unable to locate first file in archive C:/path/to/file.capx

I uploaded file (single .capx project) to my webserver and tried to download it just now to continue working on the project at work, but got this error.

I have done this (FTP upload file, download it to another computer and edit game) past few days without problem, could this be just corrupt file download?

1) I had earlier .capx and project folder with same name (making sub directories like layouts, animations etc.). Deleted them both.

2) Tried to rename file.

3) Other files are working (samples I downloaded from same server).

Maybe the FTP program you're using corrupted the file somehow? I use dropbox to store my games and I'm always able to open them anywhere I am.

You can use MD5 to compare between the working file and the corrupted one and see if it's really corrupted.

The file is probably corrupt. .capx files are just .zip files containing a folder project, so see if you can open it as a zip if you rename it. If not the file is corrupt.

Problem "solved", file was corrupt and all the work I did yesterday is gone. I did save yesterday before going to sleep, today when I finally got back to home and game is missing two layouts, files. code changes and everything else related to yesterday work.

Do you keep backups ?

If so, rename the file to .capx and see if those aren't corrupted.

i have this same problem, capx and backup dont want to load, i try unzip capx. file with 7zip no positive result

Me too.

Happenned using Dropbox. Fortunately I had backups.

Ashley, can we add to Wishlist: "Auto save every X minutes"?
