Exception in initialize environment when running model programmatically

I've been trying to run a model programmatically using the following answer: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/21116/automatically-configure-and-run-a-flexsim-model.html. I'm able to get things to work with the test model provided in that answer.

However, when running with a real model, the model never starts. After calling go(), FlexSim seems to hang indefinitely. Nothing appears in the model view, and I get a spinner if I hover over the view. I see an exception `exception: FlexScript exception: MAIN:/project/events/OnStartApp/initialize environment` in the console.

I'm able to run the model successfully if I open it in FlexSim through the GUI, reset, and run, and the model runs can run programmatically on a coworker's machine. This makes me think something is wrong with my environment that is preventing the model from initializing.How can I debug what is causing the FlexScript exception in the initialization script?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.9

Hey @andyru, have you been able to successfully run the attached zip files in Ben's answer? Do you get the same errors? Could you please post the model so I could see if I can replicate your issue? If you can't post the model, you can either make this question private or you can post some screenshots so we can get a better idea of what kind of errors you're getting.
Thanks!
