"This file was generated by an older version of protoc" on Windows installation

Hello everyone, im running into this error after following this official guide when running “make px4_sitl”, i’ve unregistered and reinstalled ubuntu 6+ times, i tried clean, distclean, installing protobuf before running bash and tried following the guide on another computer.

here’s the error message:

px4 error.pdf (22.9 KB)

any ideas?

i’ve solved this issue by downgrading protoc to 3.6.1, make clean and make distclean in ~/PX4-Autopilot then exiting wsl and shutting down then rebooting and make px4_sitl which ran with no errors
