Thanks for your reply, Lester. I asked the customer to uninstall fb,
restart, stop wingate service (just in case), reinstall fb. And it
didn't help.
It's running on an XP, and he tried installing it as an app, and that
did not work either. :(
Could it be related to msvcrt dll?

Would moving to 1.5 be a wise choice?

Thanks again, regards,
Marcos Flomenboim
