Invalid scale reduction specified in coordinate system definition 'Calgary_3TM_WGS_1984_W114'

Hi @mikel, I'm sorry that you have run into this error! We recently had another customer contact Safe Support and discovered a temporary solution:
1. Open /Library/FME/2017.0/Reproject/LocalCoordSysDefs.fme in any text editor
2. Find the definition for Calgary_3TM_WGS_1984_W114 (~Line 264)
3. Change the SCL_RED value from 0.999900 to 1
4. Save the file and try opening FME Desktop again
*Please note that our Development Team is actively investigating. As @david_r suggested, please contact the and we will provide you with updates.
