AutoCAD Error - There was an error opening the file C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\mhx55ezi.ctb

Using AutoCAD 2019, when I execute the following VBA code I intermittently get the error "There was an error opening the file C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\mhx55ezi.ctb".

 

Dim CurLayout As ACADLayout
Set CurLayout = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayout

CurLayout.StyleSheet = "allblack.ctb"

 

I have narrowed it down to the line where I set the style sheet.  When I open AutoCAD and immediately run the code I usually do not get the error, but if I wait a while and then try it then I get the error.  I wrote a program that can read CTB files, and when I execute it I get the error:

 

Error: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\mhx55ezi.ctb' is denied.

 

The file is 0 bytes, and I believe that it was created when I installed AutoCAD 2019.  I believe that deleting the mhx55ezi.ctb file fixed the error.  It is strange to get an error about mhx55ezi.ctb when I was setting the style sheet to a different (existing) colour table.  Even though I was receiving the error, I did not notice any other side-effects other than the popup.

 

One setting that I had changed prior to receiving the error was to set the Plot Style Table Search Path to one also on the C:\.  The Print Spooler File Location is set to "C:\Users\Administartor\AppData\Local\Temp\" and must be associated with this issue.
