Can't load parks saved as .Park

[thorthesecond]

I recently cleaned up space on my laptop and deleted some, what I thought were duplicate OpenRCT2 downloads, but I messed something up. I can only open SV6 files despite redownloading the most recent release (Winx86 Installer) as well as the latest Developer download, again WinX86 Installer..

The error message I get when trying to open a park says "Failed to load, contains invalid data".... weirdly enough, I got this error message last night, but was fixed when I installed the developer version. Now today I'm getting the error message again.. Not sure how to fix

Try with the WinX64 portable.

Seems to have worked! Thank you.. What is the difference between Installer and Portable, just out of curiosity?

The difference is that the installer build comes with an installer, and portable does not. There isn’t anything more to it. The fact that following Dubaifreak’s advice worked out is more of a happy incident, so to say.
