It "can't find part of path" of a project (which is open but completed), but it won't open the program to let me fix that problem. I know why I am getting that message, but not how to fix it, given that the program isn't opening.. I just want to remove that project actually, since it's completed. Any ideas? I run Trados on Windows via Parallels on my Mac.
Thanks!
Hello,
It sounds like Trados Studio 2019 is encountering an issue with a missing or inaccessible project path, which is preventing the program from launching. Since you cannot open the application to resolve the issue directly, here’s a step-by-step guide to fix this:
### Step 1: Reset Trados Studio to Default Settings
1. **Close Trados Studio completely** (if it is partially open or stuck).
2. Navigate to the following folder on your Windows system (via Parallels):
- `C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15.0.0.0`
3. Locate the file named `Projects.xml` and rename it to something like `Projects_old.xml`. This file contains the list of projects that Trados Studio tries to load on startup.
4. Restart Trados Studio. It should now open without attempting to load the problematic project.
### Step 2: Remove the Problematic Project
1. Once Trados Studio opens, go to the **Projects** view.
2. Identify and remove the project that caused the issue (right-click on the project and select **Remove from List**).
### Step 3:
OK, So I have navigated to the desired folder, but the file Projects.xml is not in that folder (and I have checked the show hidden items). Where might it be?
Please check here:
C:\Users\%Username%\Documents\Studio 2019\Projects

Thank you Anca. There's nothing in that folder. Amazingly, I restarted everything and Trados opened, and the faulty file was gone, so it kinda fixed itself? :-)
I am glad to hear it was solved.
