there is nothing to fix: its format is a most recent version.
However you may want to check whether "UTF-8 Unicode"
(whatever it means) characters in file are a source of problem
(I don't see why, but I also don't see why CR-LF characters
should be a source of problem: they are on AIX machines).
Just edit the file, replace the line Author="..." with something
not containing non-ASCII character, save
