The application is straightforward to use, just a simple drag and drop into the SDL Analyse View in Studio, or into the interface of the standalone application. We'll add more details in here if it looks as though they are needed later. For now just a few FAQs around the installation.
Installation FAQs
- Min Version Requirement : the application can only be installed successfully under SDL Trados Studio 2017 with a minimum of CU3. The CU3 is a free update that is usually installed automatically through the automatic update. If you need to take this manually you can find the update here.
- Windows permissions : the application creates a windows service that runs permanently in the background. This is required to support the standalone application that can be run on its own without Studio running, and to support enhanced features for developers who can use this service to create other innovative ways to use the analysis capability. This means that you will need to provide your windows login during the installation process so the service can be installed:
If you have configured your computer not to use this feature and you log straight in without having to enter a username and password then you will need to workaround this as follows:
- go to your windows Control Panel -> User Accounts and create a password for your user account
- uninstall the application if you have already attempted to install it and reinstall
- enter the password you just created to complete the installation
- now you can go back to the User Account and delete this password - If you have forgotten your password then you can reset it. There's a useful article here explaining how to do this.
- Old Studio versions left over : another potential problem is related registry entries left behind from previous Studio installations that you don't use anymore. If you still have problems to install, or find the standalone application is not working correctly then please do the following.
- Can you open your registry editor (Windows key +R and then type regedit) and navigate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SDL\ - Delete the leftover registry entries (Studio2, Studio3, etc) - do not delete anything related to Studio5 as this is Studio 2017. Also, if you still use an older version then don't delete those either. Only remove keys you find that relate to a version of Studio you do not use anymore. So for example:
Studio5 = Studio 2017
Studio4 = Studio 2015
Studio3 = Studio 2014
Studio2 = Studio 2011
Studio1 = Studio 2009
