There are a couple of threads that mention this error is a bug in Editor 1.6.1. What version are you running?

1.6.1

According to those threads the issue is fixed in 1.6.2. The Editor is at 1.6.5 now. I would try upgrading to see if it resolves the issue. You can search the forum for your error message to find the other threads if interested.
