Problem with "Paratext Surveys" prevents the app from opening.

Just updated to Paratext 9.5, but now when I open the app it says "Paratext encountered an error reading a file related to Paratext surveys. The problem can be safely ignored as we fix the problem." Unfortunately, the app then closes right away. Running as admin does not fix problem

I have fixed the original problem, but didn't realize that the file is causing Paratext to shutdown.

You can fix the problem by deleting this file:

C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\Paratext95\paratext_survey.json

I have uploaded the Paratext 9.5 patch to the website, so you can download it from Paratext Downloads - Paratext Bible Translation Software. To install it, you just have to double-click on the downloaded file.
