Hi Michael Taylor and Paul Malone

Here's how you perform a Windows Repair of Studio (or any other software that is misbehaving)...

1. Close all SDL applications.
2. Open the Control Panel:
   • Windows Vista/7: Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
   • Windows 8: Right-click on the screen at bottom-left corner and choose Control Panel > Uninstall a Program.
   • Windows 10: Right-click on Start > Control Panel > Select View by: Small Icons > Programs and Features
   • - or type 'Control Panel' in the search line on your bottom Windows toolbar.
3. Click/highlight the relevant SDL product from the list (e.g. SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1) and click 'Repair' or 'Uninstall/Change' (then Yes then Repair) either on the top toolbar or on the right-click dropdown menu.
4. Restart Studio/MultiTerm.

Let us know if this helps or not...

All the best,

Ali

Thank you Alison

I do not have a repair option for Trados studio, although I do for MultiTerm possibly because it hasn't been updated, unfortunately. I have tried resetting it to its initial state, and I tried it immediately after installing studio 2019, with the same result.

Hi Michael Taylor

If there is no 'Repair' link, then click on 'Uninstall/Change'

Then up pops a dialog that allows you to click 'Repair'

Does that help?

Hello Alison

I tried that, but it can't do it because the updated version is more recent than the installer.

Hi Michael Taylor

Normally the version visible under Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features is the updated version and as such can be repaired successfully.

Anyway, the next step is to uninstall and reinstall. If that doesn't help then you have the right to contact SDL Studio Installation Help here:

installation and licensing help

Select 'Installation' from the 'Case type' dropdown menu.

Someone will help in the next day or two if you give your correct email address.

All the best,

Ali :)

Thank you, will do.

Michael
