Problem description:

So I recently started coding on DM again after a relatively long hiatus and discovered much to my frustration that I couldn't create DMI files anymore, specifically I could create them all day long but the instant I tried to include any references to them in the code I would get a 'bad file' error, doesn't matter what context, or what the contents were, all of my DMI files refuse to work.
