Access violation (v2020)

I'm having a problem with PHPMaker 2020 that arose after I installed PHPMaker 7, which I needed for an older project.

When I try to connect to any MySQL database, or open it without synchronizing and then try to synchronize any table in a project, I get an Access Violation error in module PHPMaker.exe.

Other versions (e.g., PHPMaker 2024, etc.) don't give this error.
What happened?

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but the error persists on Windows 11 pro.

I have an older project and need to use only the PHPMaker 2020 version. Can you please help?
