Issues opening IDML file in Trados

Hello,

I am unable to open my IDML file in Trados, even though I have the “Process unsupported file versions” option enabled. My colleague, who has the same permissions as I do, is able to open the document without any issues. Could anyone please suggest how to resolve this? Error message in Trados Studio stating 'Failed to open LeadingWithPurpose_Dual_WB_WSK_En_508.idml.sdlxliff'. Additional error information includes a warning about an unexpected XML declaration.

Trados Studio file types settings window showing a list of supported file types, including SDL XLIFF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Bilingual Excel, and Adobe InDesign formats.

Thank you.
