Trados Studio does not start following installation of World Server components

Question

Hello, 
 I have a problem with Trados Studio 2021 16.0.1.2917 (German version). 
 I downloaded and installed the World Server components. When I now try to start Trados Studio, I get the following error message and the application won't open: 
 "Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi.Interfaces.IPluginLoggerFactory" in der Assembly "Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c28cdb26c445c888" konnte nicht geladen werden. 
 (approx. English translation: "Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi.Interfaces.IPluginLoggerFactory" in the assembly "Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c28cdb26c445c888" could not be loaded.) 
 Does anyone have any ideas? 
 Thank you. 
 Mike

 There could be several reasons why this is causing a problem, such as a missing or incorrect reference to the assembly, a version conflict between the assembly and the application, or a corruption of the assembly. It is also possible that the assembly is not deployed to the correct location or that the required permissions you have in windows are not set up correctly. 
 But to resolve this issue, I'm pretty sure it is related to versioning. You are running an old version of 2021 and you should really update (it won't cost you anything). But if you don't wish to do this try the archived versions of the plugin - Archived Versions: Worldserver Compatibility Pack for Trados Studio Uninstall the plugin you have now through the windows control panel and then download and install the oldest one. 
 I can't guarantee this will help and if it doesn't I'm afraid we will not do anything to try and fix it because you should be on the latest version of 2021.

 Maybe uninstall the WorldServer components and then download and install the version for your version of Trados Studio from the appstore.

 Picking out the bit f the error you think is helpful may not be the best approach. Better to share the full error stack by saving as xml to your desktop and then attach to your reply. Don't copy paste it in unless you insert a code block as you not even be able to post it as the spam filter may pick it up.
