I just faced the same issue today. Mid-Tier were the content server/repository is was too slow, after restarting all servers and services we are able to access all EG project.
Responding to an old post, as i have had this issue in the past and thought what i found may help others. 🙂
METHOD 1:
You can try changing the file extension to ZIP.
When you open the file you should see something like this:
Navigate through each folder to find the desired code (most likely in one of the CodeTask folder) and then open the code.sas file.
You then just need to create a new project, and insert the required code.
METHOD 2:
Open the Project, so long as it shows the path in the title bar the project will have most likely loaded, even if the icons are not showed in the process flow.
From the menu, save the project using "SAVE AS" and give the file a new name.
Close project
Reopen the project, and it should open up correctly.
Anyway hope one of these ideas help.
I would also ensure that EG project files get stored in a folder location that gets backed up regularly. It is probably easier and quicker to restore the last good EG project file, then update that, than it is manually create a new one from scratch.
