Hi everybody,
Prelude (skip if you don’t feel like it):
so I started building an app with a friend about a year and a half ago (Version "METEOR@1.1.0.3"). Both of us got new jobs and didn’t really have much time to continue working on our app, which is why we put the operation on hold. In a technical way, I was more of the muscles where my buddy was the brains of the operation. I was fine building templates and doing some styling and database operations, but most of the more advanced stuff was just a little bit out of my reach (as at that point I only had like 2 months of experience with html, css, javascript, meteor, ios - just a little much). Anyhow, fast forward to today. I find myself having some time and trying to get back on the saddle. I read up on where meteor is today and realized a lot has happened since I last used it.
Since I had to start from scratch anyway, I decided to get some exposure to React and went through a few tutorials (including Wes Bos’). Was a pain to get react running because I had to repeatedly install and uninstall node and do some linking (frankly, I have very little idea of what I actually did there). But in the end it worked. Now my idea to is to refactor the old app to meteor + react. But for that I would very much need the old app to be running 
Actual problem:
I want to run a meteor application I built with an old version (1.1.0.3). I have since upgraded Meteor and the upgrade (or something else) has messed with some files and packages and now I can not start my app again (even after downgrading to 1.1.0.3 again).
Feel free to ask questions or for me to provide you with additional data (preferably with instructions for how to get the data)
Meteor V1.4:
I probably (because I always want to have the newest version) did something dumb. I upgraded Meteor to v1.4. I then tried to run meteor in our old project folder, but now it’s broken and it gives me the following error:
While building the application:
node_modules/fbjs/flow/lib/dev.js:10:9: Unexpected token var
node_modules/loose-envify/cli.js:1:15: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
node_modules/ua-parser-js/dist/ua-parser.html:1: bad formatting in HTML template
