Does the available Windows binary have the same problem, or is this something specific to your build?

The official binary client works fine on my Windows. I think the problem is related to my build only. It's fun because it shows an exception but at the same time it shows a successful message.

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about an individual programming problem.
