The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid.

Hello everyone, 

I've got a weird problem while opening a report project

The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 39.  C:\Users\%user_name%\AppData\Local\Temp\7\Microsoft Dynamics AX\Dynamics AX Model Projects\MyReportName\MyReportName.dynamicsproj

I tried to remove it from a tmp folder and recompiled it. But it's not helping me. 
Tried to restart AOS and Reporting Service and recompiled the project again, still no result. 
I need open this project to update DataSource since I've changed the DataProvider related to this report and that's all. 

Quick googling did not help me, so maybe it's something very obvious. 

Thanks in advance. 


UPDATE: I managed to open project file by manually removing '#' symbol from the dynamicsproj file editing it like a plain xml, and I don't know why it's there.  
So the first line without editing looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>#<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets......
But every time when I recompile the project it's there again. Does anyone know what's going on ?

    I solved this problem by creating a new project and adding an existing report to it.
