.mscz files created in 0.9.5 will not open in 0.9.6
.mscz files created in 0.9.5 will not open in 0.9.6. MuseScore gives the error:
error reading file C:/NEWFOL~1/TEST~1.MSC at line 1 column 1: error occurred while parsing element
This appears to happen only if the file is in a directory whose name contains spaces. If you place my attached test.mscz file in the directory "C:\musesore" (on Windows), then it opens fine. However, if you place it in a folder called "C:\New Folder" (or into the "My Documents" folder) then it will display the error shown above.
If I extract the .mscx file (by renaming the .mscz to .zip and treating it as a zip file) then the .mscz file can be opened with no problems, no matter what folder name it is placed in.

I saved your test.mscz file to my "My Documents" folder. It opened without problems for me using MuseScore 0.9.6, Windows 7.
What version of Windows are you using? What MuseScore revision number are you using? (see Help > About to find the revision number). What method are you using to open the file?

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2. I also have MuseScore installed on XP Home and a Vista Home machines. I will test the file there and see if the problem is specific to this one PC.
I have revision number 3145.
The problem only seems to happen if I double-click the .mscz file to open it. If I use File > Open from the program menu or drag and drop the file onto an open instance of Musescore it opens without giving the error message.

Good you narrowed it down to 'The problem only seems to happen if I double-click the .mscz file to open it.'
I still can't reproduce on Win Vista.
I opened without problem with 0.9.6 stable on Win Vista.
Do you have more than one version of MuseScore installed?
In reply to Do you have more than one by David Bolton
Yes. I have both versions 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 installed.

Maybe Windows explorer is not setup to correctly open files using version 0.9.6. What happens if you right click on a file > Open With > Choose default program > Browse (and choose mscore.exe for version 0.9.6)?

That gets the same error as double-clicking the icon.

When you go to right click on a file > Open With > Choose default program what logo do you see next to mscore.exe?
