Input string was not in a correct format

Hi! I upgraded my lisence yesterday to Studio 2017. I tried to open a sdlppx-file this morning, but Studio says: Input string was not in a correct format. What does this mean and what should I do? Can you please help me?

  • Hi Outi,

    To get a clearer picture of why this happened, if you could post the error stack trace this would be great

     

     

    Sorry for the multiple questions, but answers to the following should help us find the problem.

    Were you working on the same PPX in Studio 2015 before you upgraded to Studio 2017?

    Have you upgraded the Operating System and/or moved computers?

    What are the Language (including flavours) of the PPX?

    What Languages did you install (including flavours) with Studio 2017?

    Does the PPX contain files with a none SDLXLIFF format?

    Do you have any SDL APPS installed?

  • Hi Steven,

    I wanted to add, that the cursor keeps flickering on Studio. So I'm thinking, that I might have a problem with my Studio's installation/updating. I would like to get this solved as quickly as possible, because I have some dead lines coming. I'm not sure, if I'm on the right support forum here or if I should ask this somewhere else. Can you please verify that you got my previous message with the screenshots. Thank you!

    Best regards,
    Outi
  • Hi Outi,

    Sorry for the delay,

     

    "I've now got from the PM the sdlppx-files and the TM as an sdltm-file. I've now managed to load the sdlppx-files, but when I tried to load the sdltm-file, I got the  message, you'll find attached."

    You cannot add anything to the PPX -

    Ie. you cannot upload a PPX in Studio and then add an additional file. (this explains the error message).

    You would indeed need to either:

    1) contact your client and ask for a new PPX- this time with the TM included in the PPX package (recommended).

    2) unzip the PPX outside of Studio (you WILL  need the clients prior consent though for this!) then add the individual files and TM in to your own project.

    Using this method will mean you are NOT able to send a return package though.

     

    Let me know if this helps.

  • Hi Steve,

    thank you for your answer.

    Now I can't even open Studio any more. I get right away the same Input string... -message and the program doesn't open at all. Should I remove the program and install it again? I'm sorry, but I'm really desperate, because I have work to do and can't proceed.

    Best regards,
    Outi
  • Hi Outi,

    I am happy to do a quick remote Webex with you
    Is this OK?
    If so I will send you an invitation- then follow the instructions and I will see when you have connected.
