"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." when trying to access Project Settings

Hi everyone,

I have been having an issue with Studio for the last two days, basically since I installed the last update. The whole app works fine, except that I can’t access the Project Settings. Whenever I try, I get this infamous error message: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

My version of Studio is up-to-date, so is Windows. I’ve uninstalled Studio, reinstalled it, uninstalled it again to install a previous version, updated it again. Nothings seems to make any difference whatsoever.

You’ll find below the details log of that error.

I really appreciate your help.

Laurent

It would be worth trying a reset (this is not the same as just reinstalling). 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, I have the same issue. I've checked and I have 'hidden files' checked, but cannot locate that folder. Does this look right for the folder name, please?: c:\Users\delai\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15.0.0.0
I was trying to access Project Settings because Language Cloud results are not showing (it says 'searching'). Thanks very much!

Well... what version of Studio are you using?

In this case you need this one:

c:\Users\delai\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0\
