[Old Report] Plants vs zombies PC "on the house": Invalid file version

The "On the house" version of this game was running fine until I installed the new "On the house" Peggle.  Now when I try to load the game I get an "Invalid file version" error.  Can someone tell me ...

    hi to fix this error you must replace your user file at C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\PlantsVsZombies\userdata this is the only way on how to fix this error i got this error just later good thing i have a backup in the internet so i download it,inserted it in C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\PlantsVsZombies\userdata and yes the game works again this error happens because when you go to the following folder C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\PlantsVsZombies\userdata and open the user1.dat you will see that the file has no text this is the reason why the game gives you the error to fix replace the user1.dat or delete all the contents of the userdata folder,open the game and create a new profile

    I've got the same issue on a new PC (this is my first time installing the game). All of the fixes for this issue seems to refer to a game that has already been played, it seems (all of them advise you to delete your save game). Are there any suggestions for new installs that won't work?
