One comment to that; I had quite a few issues on Win10 & Designer 2019.4 and still have the same issue even after my IT Help Desk cleaned up the registers manually & reinstalled the TPT (16.2); It shows as everything being normal but the error still comes up once the workflow connection is run. I think the problem is with the Teradata installer (TPT Wizard); It's best to keep all the options checked and not to play around with those when installing over existing version..

this will also error if not installed on an input tool as well.
