File is not a valid ICC profile

File is not a valid ICC profile

Problem
When selecting a certain PrintEnvironment an error message "File is not a valid ICC profile." can appear.



This error message indicates that the embedded color profile got corrupted somehow.

Please try to find out if the ICC is still good by clicking OK and selecting any other PrintEnvironment. If the message appears again as soon as you switch back to the regarding PE it is irreversible damaged.


Solution
Luckily Ergosoft saves a copy of the previous version of every PrintEnvironment whenever something has changed in it. You can find this backup PrintEnvironment here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\EsRip\16\Data\Archive\PrEnv Just delete the damaged PrintEnviroment and import the pre version of it.
