AutosilkUtils in 17.2

I suspect eDave may be the best person to answer, but any feedback is welcome. After upgrading to 17.2 from 16.6, invoking Allegro shows the following error in the console:

E- *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "64bit/AutosilkUtils_public.cxt"

Is there an updated utility for 17.2? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

    Well, that was a big piece of it. I created $CDS_STE/pcb/skill/64bit and once that was done I have no errors when invoking either Allegro version. Thanks!

    But... still broken in Allegro 16.6 on my PC. I still get the following error:
    E- File save problem: Not enough storage is available to process this command.
    E- *Error* axlGRPDrwInit: argument #1 should be any user-defined (other) type (type template = "otg") - nil

    I checked a few other coworkers' PCs (all 16.6) and they're OK. But not for me in 16.6, though 17.2 works OK for me. Weird. Other ideas?

    Check the values of your temp variables. Do you have write access to the folders that are specified?

    It should work if you have the correct cxt file.

    See attached (it needs to be renamed to AutosilkUtils_public.cxt and placed in the 64bit folder in your SKill path
