Error when updating project from 2014.1 r5073 to 2014.1 r5129 (Mac)

Question

I've just installed the Mac authoring Beta 2014.1 r5129, and am trying to upgrade my project created in 2014.1 r5073.

I get the following error:

---

The format of the file is invalid.

Error: failed to load external entity "file:///C:/Program%20Files/Audiokinetic/Wwise/Authoring/Data/Schemas/ObjectDataSchema.69.xsd"

File: <path to project's wproj file>
Line: 0
Column: 0

---

After this error, the project becomes corrupted and is unloadable.

Please advise!

Thanks for any help you can provide.

(Mac OS X v10.9.4)

Answer 1

There is an issue when installing Beta2 while having Beta1 installed.

Before installing Beta2, you need to delete the Wwise user preference folder located under ~/Library/Application Support/Wwise.

Then launch Wwise_Authoring_Mac_v2014.1_Build5129 once again, as prompted install the VC++ redistributable. Beta2 will now have been successfully installed. You can now migrate your project created with Beta1.
