Can't open project due to "Corrupt" .mb file

So, the project in question opens fine on other computers, just not on this one, where it reports a corrupted .mb?

Do you have $$anonymous$$aya installed on the machine in question? Disassociate the ".mb" file extension with $$anonymous$$aya (or any other program, for that matter), so that Unity will not try to reimport the file by piping it through $$anonymous$$aya. Ins$$anonymous$$d, it will then use the metadata that's already in the project, and won't care about the .mb files.

The project is opening fine on all other computers. We do have maya installed and are opening up other projects that use .mb files without issue. Good idea with breaking the application ties. ill try that out and report back!

EDIT: I couldn't figure out how to completely break all ties to a default application, but i forwarded .mb files to textedit and the import has been hanging for the past half hour.

thoughts?

Have you tried saving the scene as .ma files on another computer, and checked if that opens? At least with .ma, you can look at the data and see if there's anything unusual.
