I've never seen this type of error, but could only suggest the download wasn't really a 2012 file. I have SW 2012, if you could copy and paste the download link I'll try it on my machine.

I'm guessing miss labeling on the part of the uploader.

BackWorks is a SolidWorks Add-in that will allow you to save your files back as far as version 2012. It Is also able to open and save future versions of SolidWorks.
This product can be downloaded from the link below and has a free trial offer. BackWorks has worked great for me in the past.
