KB364119816: Automation Engine - ScriptRunner failing to execute ExtendScript

Symptoms

The ScriptRunner task failing to execute ExendScript for specific Photoshop/Illustrator version.

The script's standard output stream:
  Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.812
  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
  
  The script's error output stream:
  Error: 429
  Error (Hex): 1AD
  Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
  Description: ActiveX component can't create object  

Solution

Could be fixed by explicitly defining target for ExtendScript.

1. Open PowerShell and run
   
   for Illustrator:

   reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ /f Illustrator.Application.

    
   for Photoshop:

   reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ /f Photoshop.Application.

   
   
   
   
   
   

2. Use quoted long version as Application in ScriptRunner:
   
   
   
   
   

   Application version PS	Application version ILST	Creative Cloud version
   Photoshop.Application.160	Illustrator.Application.26	CS2022
   Photoshop.Application.150	Illustrator.Application.25	CS2021
   Photoshop.Application.140	Illustrator.Application.24	CS2020
