Error running certified payroll

When running certified payroll we now get the error "Visual basics error with hidden module cpinterview". I've already been on the phone with quickbooks support who after an exhaustive session directed me to microsoft. Microsoft did the same directing me to quickbooks. I've posted a help topic on microsoft and they too point me to quickbooks support. At this point we are no longer able to run certified payroll at all and are nearly a week behind. Has anyone ran into this and found a fix?

Issue always persists. One oddity I've noticed is when we ran certified payroll before it opened excel once straight to the macro sheet, now it opens to it, but also has a blank excel in the background. Otherwise I can't tell what's different. It gets all the way to the end of the certified payroll process before giving the error.

Version of quickbooks is Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions 24.0 Contractor Edition.

Error running certified payroll

I'll guess it's related to recent changes Intuit made.  I researched it and posted findings, with a possible solution, here:

Same problem here.  QuickBooks is not talking to Microsoft and vice versa.  No body wants to take responsibility for their product.  I have been doing mine by hand weekly and it stinks.
