Description

My version:
1.09e-r7

The whole message I receive when I log in is:
"The file signature is invalid. Either the ...."

Can't open my database after installed this new app, after a crash of the previous app.

The database is on an usb memory.
Cannot open a backup either, located on my laptop.

Thank you for your help !

Research direction

Start at the login and database-opening flow, reproducing the failure with the database on USB and the backup on the laptop using version 1.09e-r7. Capture the complete file-signature error and relevant logs; the issue is done when the original database or backup opens successfully after the crash and upgrade.
