Errors when running the updater from command line.

How to reproduce this problem:

1. Download and install firefox 3.6.17 from mozilla.com

2. Go to battlefield.play4free.com

3. Log in

4. Press Play now

5. Install the requested plugin, and press restart.

6. The game (or actually the updater) starts, and shows you the EULA, but
crashes.

A little explanation on how this game works when launching. You go on the
website and installs a plugin, this plugin basically contains an exe file
called BP4FUpdater. When you press on the "Play Now" button online, this file
gets called with a bunch of parameters. This exe will check that the game is up
to date before launching it, and if this is the first time you run the game, it
will download the game.

If you want to try and launch the updater directly you can go into:
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ceaeu01e.default\extensions\battlefieldplay4free at ea.com\plugins
and run BP4FUpdater.exe -sessionId "<YourSessionKey>" -serverDeltaTime "0"
-loggedIn "true" -showStaticAdImage "false" -lang "en" -ip "<YourIP>"
-soldierName "<YourSoldierName>" -hostname "battlefield.play4free.com"

The variables sessionId, ip and soldierName are you able to get from the
webpage you get to when you press Play Now, inspect the source, and search for
sessionId.

Attatched are the errors I get when running the updater directly from the
command line, with the correct parameters (as seen working on a vmware image).
