What's wrong with FM-16 update 2 and FrameScript?

Question

Dear all,
I  am struggling to run FrameScript on FM-16, update 3 and higher. While everything works fine in the initially released version up to update 2, in higher updates FrameScript does not accept options any more. There are no such problems in FM ≤ 15 and FM-17.
→ Any ideas what's going on here?
Environment
Operating system: 10.0.19044 64 bit
FrameScript: H:\Adobe\FM-addons\Fscript_7\fsl7_160_64.dll (file version 7.0.1.25; Modification date 2020-08-30; file size 2'662'400)

Solution communicted by Frank ElmoreAdobe changed their FDK for FM 16 when they released 16.3. It made the old clients incompatible. We downloaded the new FDK for 16.3 and recompiled our code.We now have two Fm 16 clients. I am enclosing (inside zip files) both of these clients. Even though the zip files have different names, the actual client file name is still fsl7_160_64.dll, so unzip them to different folders, so they won't overwrite each other. The fsl7_160_64_12.zip is for the FM versions .1 and .2. The fsl7_160_64_3.zip is for FM 16.3

Hm. I could install itl 's i-frame with every update of FrameMaker 16. And also my own scripts ran well.

What's wrong with FM-16 update > 2 and FrameScript?
