We've installed the MultiTrans Client version 7.0.21146.1.0 (or above) and now the XLIFF editor doesn't open. Nothing is shown in the task manager when trying to open - no error messages, it just doesn't open.

This bug has been fixed as of version 7.0.22027.1. Upgrade to the latest version.

Detailed below are workarounds you can use to fix this issue if you're unable to upgrade.

May require administrator privileges. Ask your IT department for assistance.

Solution 1: Run as administrator once

Right click on the XLIFF Editor application and Run as administrator:


This is only needed once after the upgrade, any subsequent run the application can be executed normally.

Solution 2: Place a configuration file in the XLIFF Editor installation directory 

Download the MultiTrans.XliffEditor.exe.config file attached to this article and place it in the installation directory of the XLIFF Editor.

By default the XLIFF Editor is installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Donnelley\MultiTrans 6.0\MultiTrans XLIFF Editor

There is a configuration file called "MultiTrans.XliffEditor.exe.config" missing from the installation directory and the XLIFF Editor does not have sufficient permissions to create it.

This issue affects versions 7.0.21146.1 to 7.0.21322.1.
