FRD Java error when running from VBS or Task scheduler

When I start FRD.exe from VBscript (wshshell.Run), or from Windows Task Scheduler (scheduled task),
the application starts, but a critical error occurs:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.jna.Native

Chyba

The startup crash has been solved by deleting the "Vitysoft" profile folder ...

Edit:

Not fixed :( After I deleted the Vitysoft profile folder, FRD could be started using Windows Task Scheduler, but when the downloads finished and a reboot or shutdown is planned, it crashed after the countdown, with the error:

Any solution?

Steps to reproduce this bug:

1) add a download URL to FRD and pause it
2) set an automatic shutdown (reboot or shutdown) in FRD
3) set FRD to remember an auto shutdown option permanently
4) resume the download (1) and exit FRD (quickly, before the download starts)
5) create a scheduled task in Windows Task Scheduler and set the start to a near time
6) wait for the task to be executed
7) see what happens:
- FRD will open
- the file will be downloaded OK
- you'll see the 30s countdown window
- after the count reaches 0, FRD crashes with the error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError,
instead of a reboot or shutdown.

This seems like a working directory problem. You could try setting the "Start in" field in Task Scheduler to the directory where frd.exe is.

You can reproduce the original error by enabling Options > Preferences > General tab > Prevent standby while downloading. This way the problem is easier to reproduce.
