OCIO not loading in CMD - aerender

[cbialk]

Aerender isn't able to see the default ACES configurations when rendering. I am not sure if this behavior is specific to AE 24.5, but I am fairly positive I have been able to render like this before.

Windows 11, AE 24.5

aerender version 25.0x53 release version: *OCIO works for me with aerender.exe* (in Windows 10 Pro)

Somewhat unexpectedely, today's 2025 release version 25.0x53 within Adobe Teams Packager seems to be working for me. I wasn't expecting to see the patch until a release newer than 25.1x40 Beta came out. 

@JohnColombo please confirm that the patch seen in 25.1x40 BETA indeed made it into 25.0x53 RELEASE version?
@cbialk can you confirm if today's 25.0x53 RELEASE version also works for you?

Thank you again for your patience. The fix for aerender with OCIO was released this week with After Effects 2025 (version 25.0.0.53). It is not yet listed in the Fixed Issues, but will be added soon.
