That line number seems to indicate that you still aren’t getting the latest version of the addon loaded for some reason…

Did you update the addon while WoW was still running? Have you tried completely exiting the game, update the addon, then start it again?

I have exited the game completley (including shutting down battlenet app, uninstalled and reinstalled the app then tried again

I’m guessing you’ve not played WoW for a while and haven’t adjusted to the new addon location, Blizzard changed the folder structure a few months ago.
\\<your WoW install directory>\_retail_\Interface\AddOns

Make sure you’ve got them in the correct location and it will work, if it didn’t there would be many, many more people asking for a fix.
