Yes. The project may have some corrupted files that can be regenerated. Follow the steps below to recover the project:
Please be aware that a similar message will appear if a project was created using MotionWorks IEC 2.x and an attempt is made to open it using MotionWorks IEC v1.x. The difference in the message will be the version number displayed.
When there is possible project corruption, the version number will simply indicate 2.0, or possibly garbled characters.
When a 2.x project is opened in MotionWorks IEC 1.x, then the version will contain a four part number, such as 2.0.0.27. In this case the project is not corrupted. MotionWorks IEC 2.x projects cannot be opened in MotionWorks IEC 1.x
Steps to recover from a corrupted project:
1. Open the .zwe or .zwt project using MotionWorks IEC. Close MotionWorks IEC (this will extract the project files but fail to open it)
2. In a Windows file explorer window, browse to the folder containing the project. There should be a .mwt (for Pro) or .mwe (for Express) file with the project name and a sub-directory with the project name. Delete the .mwt or .mwe file, but not the sub-directory.
3. Copy and paste a .mwt (Pro) or .mwe (Express) file to where deleted .mwe or .mwt file was located. If you do not have another project, then create a new project using MotionWorks IEC and use the resulting .mwt or .mwe file.
4. Rename the pasted .mwe or .mwt file to match the name of the file deleted in step 2.
5. Open the project using MotionWorks IEC.
6. Compile.
