Unable to launch SDL Trados 2019 Freelance, Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation, mscorlib

SDL Trados 2019 has been working great since July. All of a sudden it won't launch showing the above message. 

Here's what I tried already:

1) Repair (using MS Add/Remove programs). 

2) Removing Plugins in C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15\Plugins\Packages

and in  C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15\Plugins\Unpacked

3) Uninstalling/Reinstalling from Windows Add/Remove utility

4) The same as the above, but from SDL FreshStart App. 

5) Running the [SDL Studio] packages from the packagecache folder.

6) Repeating the above.. !!

 I don't have support, but I am hoping someone here would be able to help me (urgently). 

 

Here's the stack:

  • Hi

    You should try a proper reset. You could use this app for the reset and this will also explain what you will lose by carrying out a reset before you do it:

    appstore.sdl.com/.../

    But if you'd rather do this manually then rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15.0.0.0

    So the path would become this:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15.0.0.0_old

    If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

  • Hi Paul Filkin

    Thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately, I have already tried the SDL FreshStart App (Please see the list of things I tried before, It's # 4 on my list). I even tried renaming the folder you suggested, following an advice from a previous post in this forum (though I did not write it in my list).

    Do the stacks reveal anything interesting? I searched fom mscorlib and found it's related to the .NET framework. I tried updating from Microsoft but it turns out I have the latest version already.
    I really don't make a lot of changes to my machine. The only thing I can think of is an update that was made 10 days ago. It seems this is the first time the App was restarted after that update.

    Thanks again for your help
