System.Xml.XmlException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 26, position 11

After reinstalling to upgrade to 2019.0.2 update, i am constantly getting this error.
I have installed & reinstalled a number of times.

\project.json’ could not be opened: ‘.’, hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 26, position 11… —> System.Xml.XmlException: ‘.’, hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 26, position 11.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Hi @divya.baria

Any chance you could share your file?

If not, try opening it with any text editor and post a screenshot of Line 26 :slight_smile:

Another quick fix would be to copy your project as a backup, remove the project.json file and then run your Main.xaml file to recreate it.
