Error Message: An error occurred whilst parsing the xml

noha mostafa

Hello All,

I encountered an error a few days ago and could not resolve it. I've attached screenshots of the error message, and the file location on File Explorer.

I have Trados Studio 2022 on Windows 10 Platform and Microsoft 365. I encountered an issue a few days ago where the error message reads: An error occurred whilst parsing the xml. Please check whether the file at C:\Users|Noha\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm15\WidgetSettings.xml is well formed. Since hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position1.

I'd appreciate your kind help in solving the a/m error, taking into account that I can access the file (WidgetSettings.xml) in the File Explorer on Windows, but I cannot access it on Notepad.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

    Your xml file seems to have an error. The first character is not valid. open this xml in a decent editor, preferably Notepad++ (install xml extensions there) and check it for validity. It is also possible, that you will already see the wrong first character. The first character of a xml file must be the sign "lower than" (<). On top of this, you should use dedicated xml file settings, as there is no "universal" file type for xml.
