webaccesslib not working in Bridge CC 2017

My script, which had been working in previous CS and CC versions, is not working in CC 2017.

In the snippet below, var webLib2 = new ExternalObject("lib:" + pathToLib2 ); results in an I/O error.

Do I need to change my code or is webaccesslib no longer available in CC 2017?

if ( !ExternalObject.webaccesslib ){

    if( Folder.fs == "Windows" ){

        var pathToLib2 = Folder.startup.fsName + "\\webaccesslib.dll";

        }

    else{

        var pathToLib2 = Folder.startup.fsName + "/webaccesslib.bundle";

        }

    var libfile2 = new File( pathToLib2 );

    var webLib2 = new ExternalObject("lib:" + pathToLib2 );

   }

Hi All,

We have released a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2018) on 18 Oct 2017. The new version build number is 8.0.0.262. This version is available to install via Adobe Creative Cloud application.

This Bridge update contains the fix for WebAccessLib issue, and other new features.

You may need to update the Creative Cloud application and restart your computer to see the updated installer.

Thanks,

Great, you, me and just probably 1 other person was really needing this - I'm glad it's resolved now.

Oh no!  Due to this, the code I use from here Loads data from a URL in Adobe Illustrator, synchronously! (Uses Bridge behind the scenes) · GitHub is no longer working at all!

Curses! I'm going to have to tell them to not update to Bridge 2017 but to keep Bridge CC2015.

Ugh.
