Can't start Studio 2017, error "Not found", after Windows cumulative update

After the last Windows cumulative update, I get the error "Not found", both when clicking on the application .exe and on the icon. I've Repaired and reinstalled to no avail. I've also renamed the folder 14.0.0 to _old and to no avail either.

Hope you can help. Many thanks. Lorenzo

  • Hello  

    I have spoken to support about this and unfortunately we do not as yet know what may be causing this other than a possible corrupt Windows installation.

    The first thing I would suggest is to remove Studio completely from your system-

    1)Disable your AntiVirus system

    2) Uninstall Studio from the windows control panel first and then make sure you have manually removed these locations if there is anything left:

    Studio 2017
    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14\
    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0\
    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\ProjectApi\14.0.0.0\
    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14\
    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0\
    c:\ProgramData\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14\
    c:\ProgramData\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0\
    c:\ProgramData\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio5\
    c:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio5\

    3)Then run a Windows repair.

    4) Now reinstall Studio 2017 via your SDL account

    Please let me know if this has resolved the problem- If not we log a support ticket and get an engineer to have a look via remote webex for you.

  • Same problem here. Also not clear on the instructions. The windows Repair link is for Window 7. I assume you want us to reset Windows 10 over, which means ALL applications are deleted from the machine.
    I was then prompted for an Activation Code. But since I could never bring up the defective Trados 2017 on my laptop, I couldn't deactivate it in advance. Was forced to perform a "Forced deactivation". But still no luck activating the application.
  • David, if you don't have Freelance (activation in two machines), I think you will have to contact SDL for them to reset your licence. Don't know how Offline Deactivation works. Search in your account page for the steps to contact SDL. You're right, my solution was to reset Windows 10 to it's factory settings, deleting all applications.
