There is an error in XML document.

[ss2432]

After updating VisualGDB and pulled a remote project from github, I am getting this error.

How can I resolve this?

There is an error in XML document. (12, 2)

Hi,

This means that the project file is corrupt. Please try re-creating the project, or manually checking the location shown in the error message for obvious XML errors.
