Corrupted BYZ resource

Question

Every time I and my wife start Paratext, we get a Paratext Warning saying:
“BYZ resource on your computer is corrupt or invalid. Download the BYZ resource again. Project guid must be set before adding it to ScrTextCollection.”

We deleted the BYZ resource and downloaded it again, but it didn’t help. I do not know what “Project guid must be set before adding it to ScrTextCollection” means.

Any ideas?

Yes, something seems to have gone wrong on the site. Try this:
Go to paratext.org and in the search box type in BYZ. This should take you to the information.
