nstall VC++ 2015–2022 (x86) runtime (you only have x64):

  • Install x86 v14.44 as well (and, if the app is older, VC++ 2013 x86).
    Rationale: these apps are often 32-bit; missing x86 runtime causes native DLL load failure which surfaces as an unhandled managed exception.

Reset the per-user app config (if a bad setting was saved during an OFAC run):

  • Close the app → delete the newest user.config under
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\[Publisher]\[Official/Offical Check]*\*\user.config
  • It will regenerate on launch.

Printer A/B test (if the OFAC flow opens a preview/print):

  • Make Microsoft Print to PDF the default and retry; update/remove legacy PCL6/“Universal” drivers if that fixes it.
