As you may have seen in other topics, in case like this you need to open the AUTOSAVE file in a text editor, then remove the long line which is empty except for </project> at the end of it, and remove any other empty lines.

The last two lines of the AUTOSAVE file should then look like this:

Code: Select all

</recordingrecovery>
</project>

Here is the repaired file https://www.dropbox.com/s/nz0by2nbmpyrw ... save?dl=05
