The exception occurred because of a problematic Excel file saved in the Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 format which GroupDocs.Metadata was unable to recognize. This release adds support for such files so they can be loaded by the library. Please note that GroupDocs.Metadata automatically updates Excel 5.0/95 workbooks to the Excel 97-2003 format during saving. Both these formats have the same extension (.xls) so regular users won’t see any difference between the loaded and saved file.
