HikeOnPast (Customer) asked a question.
We contacted WEG and they would like for you to reach out to them directly to help troubleshoot this issue:
@HikeOnPast (Customer) Sorry should have posted in first response that they have both a web form and you can also call directly at 1-800-275-4934 (1-800-ASK-4WEG)
It turns out that the solution to this issue was to completely uninstall WPS, then re-run the WPS installer with Administrator privileges. It's a huge bummer that this requirement isn't mentioned anywhere on the AutomationDirect WPS product page, on WEG's download page, or even by the installer itself when run without the necessary elevated privileges.
I wasted more than half a day chasing this, so I hope this info helps someone avoid the hassle of debugging the WEG toolchain.
