AdobeXMPScript library fails to load

AdobeXMPScript library fails to load in the following versions of InDesign (resulting in ERROR: 52, I/O error:)

2022 (17.2.1), Windows

17.2.0, Windows

17.2.1.105, Windows

But it works in:

17.2.1, Mac

17.1.0.50, Windows

2020 (15.0.3), Windows

Vote here at InDesign UserVoice to make Adobe to fix it.

Here is the code for testing:

loadXMPLibrary()

function loadXMPLibrary()
{  
	if ( !ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript )
	{  
		try
		{
			ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = 
			new ExternalObject( "lib:AdobeXMPScript" );
		}
		catch(e)
		{
			$.writeln
			( 
				"ERROR: " + e.number +", "+ e.message +"\r"+
				"Unable to load the AdobeXMPScript library!" 
			); 
			return false;
		};
	};
	return true;  
};
