@sneela787 I am able to reproduce this issue on Node v6.2.2.

The issue lies in the automatic file encoding detection logic which we added in v4.4.0. Its detecting ISO-8859-1 encoding for the exported files and since Node v6.2.2 Buffer doesn’t support latin1 encoding (supported in Node v6.4.0+) the file load fails with this error. However utf8 will work just fine in this case.
