Unable to execute script at line 0. After Effects error: Can not run a script while a modal dialog is waiting for response

I'm getting this error when loading some, but not all projects. This error is only incurred when clicking on the AE project file from within Windows Explorer. When the project is opened from within After Effects the projects open without error. Why? Needing a computer engineering degree appears to be a prerequisite for working with the Adobe apps.

Do you have any script UI panels open in your AE interface?

No script UI panels. Again, these projects can be opened either from within AE or even from Windows Explorer if AE is already open and running. It does appear that the error comes only for projects that were created in an earlier version of AE and have been converted. However I also have many other converted projects that open without error.

I have occasionally gotten this error too. I haven't really troubleshot (troubleshooted?) it enough to figure out the cause since it's a harmless message, but I am getting a bit curious about it. Maybe I'll poke at it a bit this weekend.
