Hello, I am new here and urgently need some help - a client of mine has asked that I use Studio 2014 for a particular project and provided me with a Studio license (I usually use MemoQ). I downloaded and installed everything on Sunday, loaded the ppx package, and everything seemed to be working fine. Yesterday I tried  to open Studio and got the above-referenced error message, along with a big long string of stuff. Since then all I get is the error message that "the project could not be loaded: error in XML document (11395,48). Unexpected end of the file during syntax analysis of Name. Line 11395, Position 48", and despite deinstallation and reinstallation, the error message keeps recurring and I have no way to delete the project or even access Studio, as it immediately shuts down after the error message appears. I have a tight deadline and am frustrated, to say the least! Is there anyone out there that could help me with a solution quickly? Many thanks in advance! 

  • Hi Monique,

    It sounds as though you have a problem with the sdlproj.xml file for your project. You might be able to resolve this by dragging the file into firefox as this does a good check on xml files and can pinpoint the source of the problem in easier languge. Then you might be able to resolve this by correcting the file.

    If you're not sure how to deal with this you can email me the sdlproj.xml and I'll take a look?

    Regards

  • Hi Paul, many many thanks for your swift reply - I've sent you an e-mail with the error message and the ppx package, as I don't know how to access the sdlproj.xml without getting into Studio, which is not possible right now, as it shuts down immediately after the error message appears :(

    Kind regards,
    Monique
  • Hi Monique,

    I sent you an email, but just for the benefit of anyone else wondering, you don't need to get into Studio to get at the project files. They are all stores locally with your projects. So you would just navigate in windows to the location where you keep your projects and you'll find all the bilingual files and the sdlproj file in there.

    Regards

    Paul

  • Hi,

    I seem to have the same problem today. After Windows apparently installed an update overnight, I'm now unable to open the project I've been working on for the past couple of weeks - as the deadline looms next week.
    I've tried opening Studio 2019 directly, as normal, and tried opening the project file from the project directory, but I always get an error message (in German) stating that the project couldn't be loaded:
    Error in XML-Document (2352,52). Unexpected end of file. The following items were not closed: Setting, Settings Group, Settings Bundle, Settings Bundle, Settings Bundles, Project. Row 2352, position 52

    Das Projekt konnte von XXX nicht geladen werden:

    Fehler im XML-Dokument (2352,52)

    Unerwartetes Dateiende. Die folgenden Elemente wurden nicht geschlossen: Setting, Settings Group, Settings Bundle, Settings Bundle, Settings Bundles, Project. Zeile 2352, Position 52

    So, the source/location of the problem is pinpointed, but how can I correct the file?

  • I don’t have access to a computer to check anything, but that end of file error message suggests the sdlproj file has been truncated. You can check that with a text editor and simply check to see if it’s well formed or not.

    as a blanket solution you could try this.

    1. Copy your project files somewhere safe
    2. remove the original project from its current location altogether
    3. recreate the project again
    4. use the new sdlproj you have just created to replace the one in the project you put somewhere safe in 1.
    5. remove the new project you just created
    6. copy the original project, with the new sdlproj back onto the original location

    Alteenatively, if you only have a few sdlxliff files in the project, you may be able to simply open the sdlxliff files in the target folder as a new project and save the target files from there.
