Hmm, OK.. Can you show us what the .cmd file does - from your statement 
above, it seems that the launcher will run the .cmd file.  Things don't 
work after that?

If that's the case, the problem is either in the .cmd file or the .rb 
script.  If you could show us your .cmd and/ or .rb, it may help.  
Anyway, take a look to see if there's anything in your code that assumes 
opening a file in a specific directory or something.

If you're using SMTP at startup, are you sure that the network is up?  
It could be that it fails to connect to the network?

Anyway, it's difficult to double guess without seeing what you're trying 
to do.

Cheers,
Mohit.
