Error: Version 7.1-beta-2

After upgrading to the latest beta, I launched BigBox and I was scrolling through the Platform selection screen when it decided to freeze. Then it gave the following error:

Version 7.1-beta-2

System.Exception: Metadata.xml file is corrupted.

Since you optimized the beta just before the 7.1 production release, I've had some occasional issues at the Platform selection screen.

Thanks Tom; this was the result of the Metadata.xml file somehow getting corrupted, as we discussed in the live stream.
