Please attach the AUP file to your reply. I expect that it is irreparably damaged in some way, but can’t say more without seeing the AUP.

Have a look at this FAQ in the updated Manual for the upcoming 2.2.0 http://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Error_Opening_Project:_Reference_to_invalid_character_number_at_line_x

When you eventually get 2.2.0 you will see that when you get that error message there will be a Help button “?” which will take you to that page in the Manual.

Note carefully that while the page I sent you her applies to earlier Audacity versions too not all of that draft Manual does - there’s a lot of new stuff …
