unable to determine census version

Getting the error:
I was unable to determine what version of CensusPlus you are using. The latest version is 5.0.2. Please download the latest version and rerun CensusPlus. Your data will not be accepted unless submitted using the latest version of CensusPlus. You can get the latest version here :


Got the latest version but still nothing ...

Hello and welcome!

If I recall correctly, the two leading causes of that particular error are submitting the wrong copy of the .lua file (there are two) and actual corruption of the same.

If you are sure you are submitting the correct file, first check if additional census increases its size. If the file does not gain any size, its most likely broken and should be deleted. If it grows, but still fails to upload correctly, I also suggest trying deletion / transfer to another folder and running new census(es) to create a new .lua file.

If these ideas don't help, please post again. Good luck!
