In Aspose Words 17.4.0 a new bug was introduced, 17.3.0 works fine.


Using the following code I’m not able to load any word document (a plain new one or with content) :

Locale.setDefault(new Locale(“de”);
new Document(“data.docx”);

Getting the following exception:

com.aspose.words.FileCorruptedException: The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.
