I was editing source code in Lazarus 1.4 RC1, then suddenly Windows hung up dead; I had to reboot PC (this happens approximately twice in a month)
Started Lazarus 1.4 RC1; it reported config files version mismatch, clicked "Upgrade config". Obviously something was wrong because config files version could not change on its own because I didn't do anything with it.
Then Lazarus presented me with "Unable to read the project info file" (file path on next line). So now no matter how I attempt to open my project file, I can't open it.
Things I tried:
* Remove Lazarus config folder in AppData; didn't help
* Open project file using Lazarus 1.3, didn't help, shows same "Unable to read..." message
* Open project file using Project->Open item in main menu; makes no difference
* Restore various versions of my .lpi project file; I have it under version control; I have about 40 versions of this file in my repository; I tried like 5 of them from different points of time and branches, none work; and they certainly used to work before LOL
No idea what is wrong with it; suggestions? ideas? plz
PS.: Oh, and I can't recreate the project file because I have about 600 project files located in various folders (not my decision, not my fault)
