APRX wont open anymore

Question

Hi there,

I have a aprx file for ArcGIS Pro and it keeps coming up with this error message:

It appears that the APRX file is corrupted. I can open other APRX files created on the same day. Is there a tool similar to MXD Doctor that could possibly repair the APRX file?

Cheers

Andrew

Hi, I have the same issue but I cannot find any solution. Did this issue already resolve? Thanks, guys.

I have also had several consecutive  APRX files fail on me. I think the

reason may be related to a particular gazetteer file that I enable for

searching using the Locate tool. Since disabling this layer from the locate

tool after use, it appears to have stopped, but more testing certainly

required. I still need to submit case to Tech Support.

Did you do something similar?

I am running Pro 1.3.1 on Windows 7.

Andrew - no Pro "MXD Doctor" to my knowledge - there's not an ArcGIS Idea for this one yet either.  I did look into earlier Esri Support Services calls about this error message and the end result was a corrupt *.aprx not recoverable.  Do you have a backup copy stored elsewhere?
