Hi Martin Bächtold , The development team have identified a discrepancy in the version of the `System.Text.Encoding.CodePages.dll` that is released with Trados Studio 2024. We understand the impact this has on your solution and appreciate your patience as we work towards a resolution. The filters affected by the version include Bilingual Excel, HTML, XLIFF, and XML. The problem arises because these filters currently depend on version 7.0.0.0, while Studio operates on version 8.0.0.0. This version mismatch explains why the problem does not reproduce in the Trados Studio desktop application, as it handles dependencies differently. We anticipate that a solution will be implemented in CU2 onwards. In the meantime, we have identified the following workarounds: Workaround 1 : Add a dependency binding redirect to your project in the App.config: Workaround 2 : You can manually download the `System.Text.Encoding.CodePages.dll` version 7.0.0.0 from NuGet and add it as a project reference to your application. Compiling this version with your Project Automation solution should resolve the reported issue. However, please note the following consequences: 1. Studio Compatibility: Trados Studio 2024 relies on version 8.0.0.0, so using version 7.0.0.0 may affect scan tasks within the Trados Studio desktop application. 2. Version Switching: Should you need to revert to version 8.0.0.0, please keep a backup of the original version of `System.Text.Encoding.CodePages.dll` and switch between versions, as necessary. We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to enhancing our software. If you have further questions or need assistance with the workaround, please feel free to reach out.

Hi Martin Bächtold , so I guess that's a no to accessing your source project and no to telling us the output path? 
 The FileTypeId is internal as it needs to be set by the studio environment; the fact that it's null might indicate that your code project can't locate the dependencies from the API's that you have referenced. 
 It's really hard to understand from your example. 
 What I recommend is that we provide you with a sample code project, that we confirm working, so far as it will automate creating a project with a HTML file. You can review this sample project and confirm it also works from your environment. WDYT? 
 We will followup once we get an opporunity to work on this.

Hi Martin Bächtold , we have confirmed this is a bug against 2024 and escalated it to development team. Thank you for raising this and providing the sample code to reproduce. I don't have a workaround for this atm, but will circle back to you once I know more.
