Also solved a slightly different `Error unserializing GRT data data string too long` issue (also when opening a saved MWB file) – hardmooth Sep 04 '15 at 10:48
I also encountered the same issue. I am not sure if it has to do with reinstalling my OS. Reboot solved the issue. – Dean Chiu Sep 17 '15 at 06:37

nice...3 years later the same error still exists (WB 8.0). But the "solution" also still works ;) – user2345998 Oct 02 '18 at 13:08

The other solutions did not work for me, for anyone still looking for a solution I managed to open my model by closing the workbench and double clicking the actual .MWB file in the file explorer.

I hope that helps someone.

For me, was by closing other tabs (maybe the tabs that related to eer digram)

Issue is still present in 8.0.17

I had "Error unserializing GRT data data string too long".

Closing the open 'local Instance' database tab allows you to open the model as normal.

I know it's the same advice as others, just logging a comment for posterity sake that it's 5 years on and still a problem.
