Yes, maybe, this is the reason. What happens if you run tm_reduce from the 
command line? If things work, you should see something like

Reduce (Free PSL version, revision 4972), 30-Apr-2019 ...

channel:promptlatex:REDUCE 1: ]\

If not, you will, probably, see some error message. You can replace redpsl 
-> redpsl.bat in tm_reduce and try again.
