Unable to load the project because the format of the project file has been changed.

The project immeditaely gets closed. Any ideas?
I'd forgotten what a hassle this was last year. It seems that just about every version of MPLAB creates project files that aren't compatible with other versions of MPLAB. As it would be a pain to distribute examples with multiple versions of MPLAB project files, the best thing to do is just rebuild the project and exclude FRC_alltimers.lib, ifi_alltimers.lib, printf_lib.c and printf_lib.h from the build. You can also just add serial_ports.c/.h and printf.c/.h to any existing project by following the steps listed in the readme.txt file.
