How can I fix the error “this launch file is invalid” when running a Dynamics GP macro?

Posted on by 45

I've run a macro in Microsoft Dynamics GP for a few years. Yesterday it ran fine. Today it started showing the error "This launch file is invalid." Neither the macro nor the Dynamics.set file have changed in years. IT says there gave been no recent updates to GP. I've tried running the macro on an installation on a local server and on my local PC and now get the same error. I've found nothing online about this error when running a macro. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

Here is the error I'm getting:

Here is an example of the call to the macro:

Here's the macro (I removed the logins and passwords):
