Hello,
Newbie to the forums here. I am in a bind. My Lightroom5.2 catalog is corrupted, so it tries to repair. Then, it will say, "Temporarily unable to repair corrupted catalog." So I click exit. I have never had this problem before, so I do not know what to do. I am attaching a screenshot. Can someone please help? I have about 20,000 images on this catalog, and unfortunately, the last backup is from Oct. 2020. I am using Windows 10. I am not computer-tech savvy, so please help. Eternally grateful.

If the catalog file is not repairable, the your only option is to use the lease backup catalog file of October 2020.

Thank you. My last backup is Nov 2020. I am desperately hoping my corrupted one dated June 2021 can be repaired. I have the catalog in a zip drive that can be emailed if anyone can please take a look. Unfortunately, I just don't have enough tech background/familiarity to be able to do this. Many thanks.
