This has been a problem with random users for some time. Each time we think we have it fixed it comes back and bites us.
If you are using a country setting with comma as the decimal separator rather than point and get a string format error:
Uninstall ADE. This is very IMPORTANT
Now change your country settings to UK or US
Re-install ADE
Start ADE and complete the new user wizard
Make sure ADE is closed
Change your country settings back to your own
Start ADE again.
Unless something has changed that I don't think has changed then this is an ongoing problem that so far has always been fixed by the above process.
ALWAYS start with a clean installation don't try changing the country settings with a partially initialized setup as I believe it will continue to behave in unexpected ways.
