I have a dynamo file that is giving me a corruption error, is there a way if I open the .dyn file with notepad to find the exact version the script was created in?
I’ve tried opening it on 2024
and on Revit 2023
I’ve opened the file in notepad, and I believe it was created in Dynamo version 2.X
Something that’s a bit strange is that the file is huge, 8MB instead of a few hundred KB
Can you post the file so we can have a look?

You’ve allowed this file to be edited by something other than Dynamo. Often times this will happen with cloud mirroring tools which attempt to only move file slight changes in the files, or with some infosec tools.
If you open the .dyn in the text editor again you can see the ‘bindings’ section cuts off suddenly. it shouldn’t be last in the file either… There isn’t really a good fix unfortunately, but I was able to get it to open. Be sure to not modify the .dyn using anything other than Dynamo.

Nice, thanks a lot for that. I definitely didn’t intentionally open it with something that wasn’t dynamo, but glad I could recover the script even if a few nodes are unresolved.
Doesn’t surprise me that you didn’t do it on purpose. Because Dynamo files are .json files with another name many infosec tools will see them as something that needs to be actively scanned and they sometimes reassemble them in somewhat convoluted ways which Dynamo cannot understand. This is doubly so with bindings (which is where your file corrupted) as there is data serialization which means the tool can see bit streams as needing additional scanning.
