"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Error

Trados Studio error during project preparation showing '1 messages reported' under 'Analyze Files' and 'Populate Project Translation Memories' with a red cross icon.

Task Results window showing an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' for the file 'Project Aqua - Legal Notice to be translated to Greek'.

Hello,

I experience this error almost every time I create a new project. Among others, this prevents me from updating my project templates.

Please assist.

Regards,

Georgios Kourtis

    I suggest you reset and reinstall.  This is clearly a problem on your machine for some reason we cannot diagnose since the "Object Reference" message itself is a generic message created by windows for many many possible problems.  I don't even think seeing your files will help since you said it's any files.

    Clean install... try the following.

    1. Uninstall Studio
    2. Uninstall MultiTerm

    Now manually delete these folders if they are still there (back up your TMs, Termbases, AutoSuggest Dictionaries and Projects first in case you make a mistake):

    c:\ProgramData\Package Cache\Trados\TradosStudio2022\
    c:\ProgramData\Package Cache\Trados\MultiTermDesktop2022\
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\MultiTerm\MultiTerm17\
    c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Trados\Trados Studio\17\
    c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\
    c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Trados\MultiTerm\MultiTerm17\
    c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Trados\Trados Studio\17\
    c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\
    c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\MultiTerm\MultiTerm17\
    c:\Users\%username%\Documents\Studio 2022\Project Templates\
    c:\Users\%username%\Documents\Studio 2022\Projects\projects.xml

    I think that's about it for a clean install. Then reinstall.
