  • Not a valid solution file

    From Colin Reynolds@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 22 06:02:00 2023
    Hi All,
    Clarion 9.1 Windows 10
    Suddenly, all my apps refuse to open with the message "not a valid solution file"
    I haven't installed any new software and have rolled back Windows to the last update.

    Any ideas?

    Quick update,
    Rub both an AV & Malware scan. Found some stuff. It appears that al the .sln files in my projects folder appear to have been corrupted/encrypted somehow.

    Is there any quick way to re-generate .sln files ?

    Another update.

    It was all caused by a ransomware virus.

    Let's hear it for regular backups...
