Diagnosis

 

We have identified the root cause of this error as mismatching versions of Alteryx Designer and the Predictive Tools Installation. If you are experiencing this error with any of the R-based Tools, you will need to check that you have the same version of Designer and Predictive Tools: 11.8x.... installed, and that both installations are either Admin or Non-Admin.

 

You can check what version of Alteryx Designer you are running by navigating to Help > About in Designer. The resulting window will also let you know if the installation is Admin or Non-Admin.
