"The runtime application file was saved in a protected format that does not allow conversion to a development application" when trying to restore a runtime project with Factory Talk. RSLogix5000.

I've found very similar errors, but not exactly this one. Does anyone have any insight on how to remedy this? 
I'm using Factory talk and RSLogix5000.

Are you using the HMI software inside Studio 5000?

I haven't used that yet, but with FT View Studio and the Panelview+ HMIs, it's possible to compile the runtime (*.mer) file either to allow or disallow restoration of the project. It sounds like whoever compiled that particular runtime file chose to do it in a way that you can't restore it. If you want to make a change, you will need to get the project file from them or rebuild it from scratch.
