Unable to open any project in Revit 2016

[Anonymous]

I can't open my previous projects from revit 2015 into revit 2016. Everytime i click upgrade model, it says "fail to open document". Everytime I click on cancel upgrade, it freezes up and shuts down. everytime I open revit first and open the file from within the program, it says the file contains unsupported characters like ><./? etc..... but it doesnt!

Audit?

Hello @Anonymous - is this a standalone project or workshared?

I would definitely run an audit before upgrading your model as @Anonymous suggested.

Have you tried this?
