tell application "AppleScript Runner”

Do not use AppleScript Runner to run your scripts. AppleScript Runner is an implementation detail of other user-level features like Folder Actions and the Script Menu (they use AppleScript Runner to run scripts). There is no guarantee that AppleScript Runner will continue to exist in the future (or, as you discovered, in the past).

In general, do not hijack arbitrary applications to do things for your scripts. Use applications that are explicitly scriptable, like Finder, or applications that are explicitly designed for scripts to use, like System Events.
