Failed to create Burp project Invalid SortKey

Bill | Last updated: Oct 29, 2021 02:47PM UTC

Windows 10 64Bit - Burp Suite Pro v2021.9.1 Corrupt Burp Project? Not too sure what happened, the project was being saved and reopened without any issues. Then this morning, when I closed Burp Suite Pro down for a reboot, relaunched Burp Suite Pro and opened the saved project, two errors were encountered: 1. Failed to create Burp project Invalid SortKey 2. Dashboard's event log reports it failed to delete a temp directory file in C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\burp12503784248263652159.tmp. Tried running Burp as admin, still got same error. Tried manually deleted an .tmp Burp files in target location, still got same error. If I try to use Burp with the reported errors for the target project, areas of Burp is not working, like Intruder fails to run, etc. I tried relaunching Burp Suite Pro, open the project with extensions unchecked and using default Burp Options and continued to receive the same error message. Any ideas?

Hi Could you drop us an email at support@portswigger.net with your diagnostics information? You can find this by going to "Help > Diagnostics" within Burp - this can be done on either a fresh temporary project file or a project that you can open.
