When I tried to open strategy monitor or try to open 'Trading Workspace' I get the following error:
'There is an error in XML document (0,0)'. There is no error when I try to open the 'Market Data Workspace'. I uninstalled and reinstalled WL Pro and also restored Fidelity Data from my previous backup but nothing seems to work. Can you please tell me what I need to do. The Details of the error shows the following:
System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (0, 0). ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.

Uninstalling and reinstalling WLP is exactly the same as kicking tires when the car is out of gas. That is, a harmless but completely useless action. ;) (The Wiki FAQ - our official Knowledge Base - has been saying it for almost two years.)

Possible reason: abnormal program termination that corrupted the configuration file etc.

Solution: Strategy Monitor doesn't work. If you Google how to enable hidden file/folder visibility (config/data files are hidden), your Strategy Monitor will be up and running in two minutes.

Note: no need to even close WLP, just close your Strategy Monitor before deleting the XML file as suggested in the linked KB article.

Eugene,

Thanks!! That did it.
