AlignmentEditorService could not be started error message

SDL Trados Studio will not open. I followed KB 8884 instructions, but it still will not open. Can anyone help me?

  • Hi Caroline,

    You didn't tell us anything about the version of Studio you have or your windows setup... these things are always helpful.  However, I believe this may be related to to Visual C++ 2010 x86 runtimes being affected by a windows update.  Please close Studio and then reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 from this location:

    c:\ProgramData\Package Cache\SDL\Dependencies\2010_vcredist_x86.exe

    Then restart your computer and reinstall Studio.

    Let me know if this helps?

    Regards

    Paul

  • I have SDL Trados Studio 2015. KB 8884 article mentioned Visual C++ 2010 as the problem too. I can't open Studio to deactivate the licence and reinstall it right now. The KB article mentions that Visual C++ 2010 10.0.40219 is the problem, which is the one in the location you provided. Do I need to deleted the exe file in that location? By reinstall Studio, do you mean a fresh install? I asked for a licence deactivation offline. Thank you

    You don't need to return it. This should not lose your license but even if it does we can reset it quickly for you.

    Offline deactivation won't help you here, it's a different process for something else.

    No I don't mean a fresh install, no need to uninstall Studio. You could probably just run a repair. But feel free to do a fresh install if you like... won't hurt. The important thing is you reinstall the Visual C++ asemblies.
