H @snehil,

I think there is some problem with versioning of project, check with the person who provided you the project and try installing the same version your colleague is using.

Hi , 

I am also facing the same issue. Please let me know, if the problem is solved for you.

Hi,

I agree with @HimanshuTayal - you will need to open a project in a SoapUI version where this project was created. In the community, there are several topics where modifying a project xml file helps members open a project. However, this is not a reliable approach.

So, if you decide to modify the file, make sure that you back it up first. For example:

It is really difficult to provide any suggestions based on the description. There could various reasons or sequence of steps did before loading project.

That's the reason, always better to use some repository such as svn / cvs / git for the project artefacts so that we do not lose the work and effort that was put in to build it.
