Object ProvideX.Script is invalid error during workstation setup - Sage 100 V2016

After successfully running workstation setup on several workstations, Sage 100 Version 2016 Standard,  I ran into this error on one of the workstations which happens to be an older computer.

The workstation setup installed, but gave this error towards the end of the installation "Object ProvideX.Script is invalid", followed by "The PVX object init failed".  After clicking OK, the workstation setup indicated that it had successfully installed.  I added the shortcut to the desktop and was able to login to SAge 2016 without any issues.  Note that Version 2013 had been previously used on this workstation but was Uninstalled before installing V2016.

Any idea what this error means and if I need to do anything on that workstation?  Thank you!

    I found this Sage KB ID:64127 article, but in my case it looks like the workstation setup completed, not sure why I would get the error towards the end of the install.

    Description
    Error: "Object ProvideX.Script is invalid" and/or "The PVX Object init failed" during Workstation Setup client install for Sage 100

    Cause
    • Permissions on the server where Sage 100 ERP is installed
    • Local permissions on the workstation
    • Multiple Sage 100 ERP Workstation installs and one of the \MAS90 folders was deleted instead of un-installed
    • PVXCOM.EXE is not running
    • Anti-Virus blocking
