Adobe After Effects not recognizing the Animate application

Hello,

I am running into multiple issues with Animate. Everytime that I try to export a SWF it says there is an error (86:1), however, it does output a SWF into the destination folder that plays correctly when I click on it. When I try to bring that SWF into After Effects, it says that file type is not supported so I'm guessing the file is corrupting. I tried bringing the Animate file into AE instead, but then I was getting an error that said the Animate application needed to be installed in order to work (which it was). I'm not sure what is causing the two applications not to communicate. I've tried installing different versions of the application to no avail. 

When I bring the file onto another computer, the whole process works just fine. 
Any advice/help is greatly appreciated - TYIA!
