Hello,

TADM installation data is stored in 3 locations:

  • Hamilton\Config\HxServices.cfg (TADM activation data)
  • Hamilton\Config\ML_STAR.cfg (TADM settings in System Config Editor)
  • Hamilton\Config\ML_STARType.cfg (TADM tab activation in Liquid Editor)

The error you are receiving is very likely not from an installation issue but one of these three files was modified or being blocked/altered by antivirus/endpoint security. While a complete reinstallation of Venus could be a solution for you, I would first check with your IT about this. It would also be beneficial if you have these files backed up or if you have a working installation of Venus on another computer where you could grab these files to copy over and save you time from a reinstallation. WIthout more details it is hard to know which of these three files is the culprit for the error you are seeing.
