.doc - Unknown protection type

If I compare any .doc file, it always ends with an “Unknown protection type” error. DocX is fine.

[InvalidOperationException: Unknown protection type.]

We cannot reproduce this issue using sample DOC files and API version 20.5. Have a look at the source, target and output files - sample files.zip (12.6 KB).
Please share following details and we’ll investigate your issue:

  • Sample comparison code
  • Problematic files
  • API version (e.g. 19.10, 20.5) that you used for the comparison

I found a problem, one of the files is locked for writing.
