Autoremote throws an error

Cancel all the below... I rebooted several times and all is again well in the universe.

EventGhost has worked wonderfully for me for months.... possibly even years .... but tonight my log displays the following in bright red reads:

I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Autoremote but I have a large number of EG macros and this would take a long time.
Any suggestions?
