OLE Failed to launch server application

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have some pdf's linked as an OLE object in my .dwg's. Since yesterday they wouldn't update when i change the source .pdf. Ik checked in OLELINKS but when i try to update i get the error  "Failed to launch server application". When i try to change the source i get the message: "invalid source: do you want to change" (translated from Dutch). When i press "Yes" nothing happens.

Also when i insert a new .pdf as a linked OLE it doesn't display the content, but just the filename. But when i double click it, it does open the source file. Does anyone know a solution?
