I apologize for the delay Valerio. I tried duplicating the problem that you mention, and I received a similar message.
You can display the Gerbv command line options from a Windows command prompt with: "gerbv --help". (You may need to change directory to your Gerbv installation directory to execute that command successfully.) In the help listing, you will see: -p, --project=<prjfile> Load project file <prjfile>. I believe that Gerbv assumes that all input files are Gerbers regardless of file extension, so you must provide the project option switch on the command line to get Gerbv to interpret your project file correctly. The following shortcut target worked for me: C:\msys64\usr\local\bin\gerbv.exe -p (Your Gerbv installation directory will likely be different.)
