Update: was already able to resolve the issue. I was wrong about the catalog not being corrupted, it seems it was, on both computers, and I was able to restore a backup version that worked.
Hi,
I have recently upgraded to a new computer with Windows 10. I installed Lightroom Classic on the new computer using the Creative Cloud Desktop, and copied the whole folder containing the catalog to the new computer. However, Lightroom cannot open the catalog on the new computer, it shows the 'Unexpected error opening catalog' error. See also the attached screenshot.
I already found the following page, but none of the solutions worked:

Regarding Solution 1, the package was already installed, I choose the repair option, but the issue remained. Regarding Solution 2, it did not help, the same for Solution 3.
The catalog works fine on my old computer, so I do not think it is corrupt. Both my old computer and the new computer are running the latest versions of Lightroom Classic.
Any advice on how to solve this would be highly appreciated!
Regards, Robert
