Downladed latest beta 5, now get Compiler redirection error and cannot do anything

Unity Engine

I have this appearing on loading my project:

Compiler redirection error: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length at System.String.Substring (System.Int32 startIndex, System.Int32 length) [0x00053] in :0
at Program.GetUnityEditorDataDir () [0x00028] in :0
at Program.Compile (System.String[ ] args, Logger logger) [0x0002f] in :0
at Program.Main (System.String[ ] args) [0x0000d] in :0

WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is unavailable.
Using default runtime: v4.0.30319

Anytime I try and do something it is constantly compiling scripts and downloading from cache server and basicaly freezes up and I have to close and restart to see what is happening…
also have 999+ warnings talking about something didn’t update because it’s not in the assets folder…

What is going on?? How can I remove this and go back to the last release? This is ridiculuos. Updating should not render a project unusable…where is the backwards compatibility?

Hi CodeLiftSleep,
Have you tried deleting the library folder and re-importing the project yet? It would be very helpful if you could file a bug report with the original project from before the update attached if the editor keeps freezing up. Unfortunately backwards compatibility is not supported, which is also the reason you see a big warning dialog when you try to open a project with a newer version.

All I can say is Thank God for github…after a few hours of mesing around trying to fix it, I simply reimported the github project and it took abou 10 minutes to get back up and running.
