MemoQ Unsigned OPUSCAT Plug-in Warning

 To get rid of the memoQ unsigned plug-in warning that OpusCAT triggers, you need to create a ClientDevConfig.xml file under ProgramData/MemoQ containing just the following code:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ClientDevConfig>
<LoadUnsignedPlugins>true</LoadUnsignedPlugins>
</ClientDevConfig>

Source: https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/OPUS-CAT

Try:

Installation:

  1. Download and unpack the zip file.
  2. Copy the ClientDevConfig.xml file to your %programdata%/MemoQ folder. This is usually located at C:\Users\\$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MemoQ or C:\Users\\$USERNAME\AppData\Local\MemoQ, but note that the AppData folder is hidden, so you may need to enable "Show hidden items" in the Windows Explorer settings.
  3. Copy the .dll file to the Addins folder of your MemoQ installation (C:\Program Files\memoQ\memoQ-9\Addins). Make sure to delete any previous plugin files.

Troubleshooting:

  • If an error message regarding CAS policy is displayed upon MemoQ startup, unzip it using 3rd party software (such as WinRar). This is because Windows flags .dll files that have been downloaded on their own or inside a .zip file that is unpacked using Windows Explorer.
  • If you notice incompatibility issues or other errors, please open an issue under this repository.
