Many thanks to Alex Safian, Gaetano, Ken Mayer and Akshat Kapoor for generous knowledge and suggestions on this issue which helped me tracking the source of this drama. > > > > It turns our that our corporate AV was the issue. We use Sophos and there was a new module recently installed - Sophos Intercept X which clobbered dBase runtimes and my Plus as well. I have been informed from IT that it was caused by plusrun and plus not having digital certificates which I was able to show them that this was not the case. our IT are going back to Sophos for adding the EXE's to their whitelist. Hopefully this will resolve permanently but in the interim they have removed the Intercept X from the pc's and lo and behold yippee I have the app running again.

Sorry Gaetano for not getting a reply up. The issue is with Sophos Intercept X - The PC's that did not have this module installed worked fine. If it was installed, the EXE would not run. Sophos have added plusrun.exe to their whitelist to fix the issue. Now the EXE's will run on all machines.
