I can run the tool if I run it through ffdec.jar. But if I choose ffdec.exe it doesn't
work.
Hmm. It's very hard to fix this problem without any details.
For me it starts... however it is quite slow, but the same when i start the jar file.
flash = ActiveX.createObject(ShockwaveFlash.class, this);
call needs sometimes 30 seconds to execute
It's weird because I don't get any logs either.
This is the only log I get:

It should not be a problem.
Is it better with the latest nightly build?
XELAD2 reported that the problem still exists.
