Studio crashes every time opened - msg "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"

Hi, Everyone, all of a sudden, while working on a project in Studio 2015, that had been fine for hours, I received this message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. I had been "reviewing" (editing) a file in a package from an agency client that used track changes. I have found some explanations of problems that can arise on older versions of Studio when using track changes, but I have the most updated version/updates of Studio 2015.

The worst part is, I have rebooted twice, but now, Studio won't even OPEN (not just the file, the entire program)! It starts to open and then when I can see the interface for a second, and then it quits and throws this error.

HELP!

Thanks! Eve

Hi Eve,

If you click on the floppy disk in the bottom-left corner, it allows you to save a stack trace.
That has detailed information on what is happening, so if you could post that someone might be able to give advice.

Hi Eve,

It appears one of the settings files (xml files) got corrupted.
Please delete the *.xml files under the following path:
C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\12.0.0.0
* Note that you need to replace [USER NAME] with your own user name

By deleting these xml files, your personal settings will be gone.
You could delete one at a time to determine which xml file is the problem.

Let me know if that helps.

Jesse

Thanks for that suggestion (which I would have NEVER found on my own and I appreciate your input very much!). I deleted them all, one by one, and it was apparently the last one - "usersettings.xml" or something like that (I thought it would regenerate it like the other files as I deleted them, but it didn't, and don't recall the exact name since I deleted it).

Everything seems okay now (thank goodness), with some setting changes (which makes sense), but it is fine and I can just reset any preferences I had (considering the alternative, this is only a small inconvenience).

I will add more info if it acts up again, but it seems to be resolved. Thank you SO MUCH! Have a great day!

Hi Jesse,

I am having the same problem with my SDL Trados 2017, updated from 2015. I have deleted the xml files as suggested, but the problem still persists and Trados won't even open.

Can you help me?

Thank you,

Sam

Hi Samuel Taylor ,

It helps to see the full message in case the issue is caused by something else. But please already try renaming 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\14.0.0.0

Regards

Paul

Open Plugin Manager (same program group as Studio) and uninstall the plugins listed there.
If no help, delete the projects.xml from your Studio folder within your Documents library.
If still no joy, delete the whole Studio folder in AppData. This article should help gateway.sdl.com/.../communityknowledge
