CMD LINE: Error creating window handle

Can someone please tell me why the command line tool I just paid $600 for is trying to create window handles? This makes it completely useless if you ask me. Works fine on the desktop (worthless) and /makesnapshot and /makescripts work. Sorry for the abruptness, I don't need this at the moment.

    Thank you for your post into the forum and sorry that you have encountered a problem.

    Has this error occurred from running a scheduled batch file or from running your CLI commands in a cmd prompt window?

    I suspect that the license distribution files 'RedGate.SQLCompare.Distribution.mod' and 'RedGate.SQLCompare.distribution.dll' were not created.
    Can you please run the project from the cmd prompt at least once so that these files get created. Then I suspect your scheduled batch file will run successfully.

    Many Thanks
    Eddie
