ERROR_MRM_UNSUPPORTED_FILE_TYPE_FOR_LOAD_UNLOAD_PRI_FILE

ERROR_MRM_UNSUPPORTED_FILE_TYPE_FOR_LOAD_UNLOAD_PRI_FILE means a load or unload PRI operation was requested for a file type that is not supported in that context.

What to check

Verify the exact file supplied to the API and ensure it is a compatible PRI input.
Do not pass resource-package content where the operation expects a loadable PRI index.
Use a PRI dump to confirm the file is a valid index before changing application code.

makepri dump /if resources.pri /of resources.pri.xml
