Excel VBA issuing Server execution failed

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with this error and able to provide some insight?

We have a number of Excel worksheets that use VBA routines to print labels using Bartender. For some reason on my machine I am now seeing this error, which occurs when trying to create an application instance on this line:

    Set btApp = New BarTender.Application

This is while running Bartender 2022 SR5 with an Automation license.

Previously, we used version 10.1 SR4. This was working fine for years.

We are currently in the middle of migrating some production to another site where they were using 2022, so we upgraded their license to Automation edition and I upgraded the Bartender installation on my machine. All seemed to work fine after the initial upgrade a few weeks ago, but now these errors are occurring and I cannot seem to find what that error code actually means.

  Update...

  Excel does not appear to be part of the issue. I wrote a quick .NET 4.8 console app, and I'm seeing the same issue attempting to create a new app instance.

                  BarTender.Application app;

                  app = new BarTender.Application(); // Throws COM exception. Same error as in Excel.
