CReW macro error: "SupportingExes\AlteryxRunner.exe" returned an error code: -1073741819

Hello

My chain of Conditional Runner workflows which has worked for literally years has failed this morning with an error that's new to me: 

The external program "SupportingExes\AlteryxRunner.exe" returned an error code: -1073741819

(I have another one that also failed today, with error code -1073741818)

I've tested the dependencies of the workflow and telling me that the directory doesn't exist, but it definitely does:

What's going on?  Just to emphasise, this has been working daily, for years 

I can see some other threads but both seem unresolved:

Thanks

Yes thanks for the help! Setting the PATH variable (WORKAROUND #1) helped but it indeed required machine restart. The #2 option I could not make to work.
